Santiago Na Ânfora Do Rocim Alvarinho Branco

Description

This Alvarinho, a fascinating collaboration between Quinta de Santiago and Herdade do Rocim, is a genuine invitation to explore. Grown on the distinctive clay soils of Monção, with vines averaging around nine years old, it delivers a strikingly vibrant white wine. The nose bursts with the freshness of resin and a pronounced mineral character, reminiscent of damp stone. On the palate, the classic acidity of the Vinhos Verdes plays beautifully with a medium body, finishing with a lingering, slightly audacious note – a subtle nod to the influence of Alentejo amphorae. Absolutely perfect with grilled fish and roasted potatoes, wouldn’t you agree?
