Anselmo Mendes Muros Antigos Alvarinho 2016
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalYou think Vinho Verde is fizzy simple juice? Think again. Anselmo Mendes is one of Vinho Verde's icons, and this from northern Vinho Verde's Monção and Melgaço, subregion, regarded as a "cru" in quality. The sloping granitic hillsides of northern Vinho Verde's prized subregion Monçao e Melgaço imbue a bright freshness into this fuller alvarinho. Confident but quiet, with creamy herbal bosc pear, pear blossoms, meadow herbs and a filigree of sea salts lining the juicy palate, one buoyed with an easy, natural acidity. Precise mineral pixels frames and carries this VV, one of the more serious and age-worthy ones you'll see.Tasted: 13 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $18.50 | 750ml | BCLS |
