Contacto Alvarinho is obtained from the noble Alvarinho grape variety grown exclusively in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The location of this sub-region provides it with a temperate climate, being surrounded by a range of mountains on the Spanish border, which allows us a unique combination between precipitation, temperature and light required for the perfect maturation of the grapes. For the production of this wine, vineyards were selected near the river with granite  soils of sandy loam texture. Located at low altitude, with alluvium and fluvial terraces well present, offering the wine complexity, minerality and bitterness typical of the variety.

Fine and delicate aroma. High aromatic concentration with floral notes and mineral nuances. Elegant mouth with well present acidity. Full of minerality and citrus bitters with intensity, originating a full-bodied and full-bodied wine. Wet stone, lime and salinity notes offer persistence and complexity on the palate.
