Introduction:
The 2023 Palácio da Brejoeira Alvarinho is a benchmark expression of Vinho Verde from Portugal’s Monção and Melgaço subregion. This estate-bottled wine showcases the purity, complexity, and elegance that define the Alvarinho grape in its native terroir.

Terrior:
Grown in the northernmost part of the Vinho Verde DOC, the vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate with warm days and cool nights. The combination of granite-rich soils and Atlantic influence contributes to the wine's vibrant acidity and mineral character.

Appearance:
Bright straw yellow with subtle greenish reflections, indicating freshness and youth.

Nose:
Aromatic notes of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, intertwine with hints of citrus zest and delicate floral undertones.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity, the palate reveals flavors of green apple, lemon, and a touch of tropical fruit. A subtle minerality adds depth and complexity.

Finish:
Long and persistent, with lingering notes of citrus and a refreshing saline edge.

Overall Impression:
The 2023 Palácio da Brejoeira Alvarinho is a refined and expressive white wine that captures the essence of its origin. Its balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, from seafood to light poultry.
