Quintas De Melgaço

Contacto Monção & Melgaço Alvarinho 2023

Ellen Clifford
9.0

Exclusively from their vineyards in the northern part of Vinho Verde, Monção and Melgaço. I’ve been there! That’s where I accidentally got up two hours early cause my clock switched to Spain time and I thought that meant I'dn need to get up an hour early. Contacto has a little more skin contact than average, turning up with a slight texture and friendly bitter bite. On the nose, it’s fresh lemon zest, wet stone and whetstone, with a bit of white flower. The palate is utterly thirst-quenching, veering into dried apricot territory and a bit of (as I said above) fun bitterness countering the fruit. It all wraps up with a sluice of salinity. Fun, fun, fun! — 3 months ago

Nostalgia Vinho Verde Albariño

2016 opened March 2024. Grapefruit and apricots on the nose. Lemon on the front with a crisp tannic backbone. It becomes intensely astringent on the mid palate and it has a long bitter finish. At first I didn’t care for this wine, but halfway through the first glass i loved it. This would be a refreshing summer wine — chilled of course! — 8 months ago

Delicious, great with fish. As someone not super familiar with Portuguese wines, I found this more substantial and complex than a typical Rias Baixas Albarino, still light and summery — 2 months ago

Solid Alvarinho with a clean flavor. Good minerality. But not an extraordinary Alvarinho. — 2 months ago
