Gema Alvarinho Curtimenta Branco

Description

Gema Alvarinho Curtimenta is an artisanal wine from the Monção and Melgaço sub‑region, renowned for its unique curtimenta technique—macerating the grapes with their skins—and for a nine‑month maturation in French oak barrels. This process gives the wine an intense golden hue and a complex aromatic profile, where the grape’s characteristic notes mingle with hints of spices, vanilla, and dried fruit. On the palate it delivers a robust structure, lively acidity, and pronounced minerality, setting it apart from conventional white wines.
