Quinta da Lixa

Mike's Tip

Welcome to the high end of Vinho Verde. Some very distinguishing features here to recognize. First is the presence of the Alvarinho grape, considered the queen of white grapes from the region. This gives this wine a floral scent on top of the more typical acidity. Bone dry and a long finish. Secondly is an 11.5% alcohol content bringing this wine into the serious category. Complexity is the word here, and absolutely stunning! (Grape Variety: Loureiro, Trajadura and Alvarinho)
