Milagres By Quinta Da Pedra Branco

Description

Milagres by Quinta da Pedra Quinta da Pedra is one of the historic estates in the Alto Minho region, dating back to the 17th century. It sits in the heart of Monção and Melgaço, a sub‑region of the Vinho Verde DOC where Alvarinho shines. The estate covers 53 ha of dry‑land vineyards on pure granite soils, with gentle slopes for drainage and perfect exposure. Two wines are produced here: Milagres by Quinta da Pedra, our “perfect” Alvarinho, and Graça da Pedra, a young Alvarinho released the year after harvest. Older editions of Milagres are occasionally released under the “Purple Edition” designation. **LOCATION**: Monção, Minho, Portugal (Vinho Verde DOC) **TERROIR**: Climate influenced by the Atlantic.
