Parcela \u00danica Vinho Verde Alvarinho<\/strong> (full name: Anselmo Mendes Parcela \u00danica Alvarinho<\/strong>) is a premium single-vineyard white wine from the Vinho Verde region in Portugal, produced by renowned winemaker Anselmo Mendes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producer and Origin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Producer<\/strong>: Anselmo Mendes \u2014 one of Portugal\u2019s leading winemakers, known for innovation and excellence in Vinho Verde, particularly with Alvarinho. He has been a key figure in elevating the region\u2019s reputation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Region<\/strong>: Vinho Verde DOC, specifically the superior sub-region of Mon\u00e7\u00e3o e Melga\u00e7o<\/strong> in northern Portugal, near the Spanish border. The area benefits from a fresh Atlantic-influenced climate tempered by mountains, granitic\/sandy-loam soils, and low yields.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Grape<\/strong>: 100% Alvarinho<\/strong> (the Portuguese name for Albari\u00f1o) from a single exceptional plot (approx. 2 ha). This parcel was selected after years of study among over 20 plots for its unique behavior and quality. Vines are over 12 years old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Winemaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Grapes are hand-harvested. After destemming and gentle pressing (with short skin contact), the wine is fermented in 400L French oak barrels. It then ages on the full lees for 9 months with b\u00e2tonnage (lees stirring), followed by additional bottle aging (minimum 6 months). This process adds complexity, texture, and aging potential while breaking traditional Vinho Verde rules against oak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tasting Notes (based on recent vintages like 2021\/2022)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Appearance<\/strong>: Bright lemon-yellow color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Aroma<\/strong>: Elegant and expressive with wild flowers, citrus (grapefruit, lemon), peach, subtle minerality (wet stone, saline), hazelnut, cinnamon, vanilla, and light caramel from oak. Not overly fruity \u2014 emphasizes style, minerality, and terroir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Palate<\/strong>: Full-bodied yet balanced, with vibrant acidity, mineral drive, notes of grapefruit, lemon, orange, white fruits, and integrated oak (vanilla). Dense, round, with a long, persistent, and elegant finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Alcohol<\/strong>: Approx. 13%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Scores<\/strong>: Regularly 92\u201396 points (e.g., Wine Enthusiast, Revista de Vinhos, Robert Parker, James Suckling). Considered a benchmark for premium Alvarinho.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Serving and Food Pairing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Temperature<\/strong>: Serve chilled at 6\u20138\u00b0C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Pairing<\/strong>: Excellent with grilled fish, seafood, shellfish, crustaceans, and also versatile with stronger meat dishes or complex cheeses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Additional Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Ageing Potential<\/strong>: Good development in bottle thanks to structure and acidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
