Anselmo Mendes Muros Antigos, Alvarinho, Vinho Verde, 2024 low sulphur the layer of yeast/flor insideAnselmo Mendes is known as 'Mr Alvarinho' and when tasting this wine, it's obvious why. A wonderfully aromatic, delicious meld of zippy citrus and peach. Delicate and precise with a really attractive textural element. Really serious winemaking for the price maybe the best Alvarinho we have tasted at this level.
