Mendes specializes in Alvarinho in the far north of Portugal. With this powerful, intense wine he shows how good the grape can be and how good the 2005 vintage was. It’s full-bodied and intense, with just a touch of mineral and spritz. Imported by Aidil Wines & Liquor Inc.

A full style of Vinho Verde, with fruit tannins giving a tight structure to the intense grapefruit juice. The wine is bone dry, achingly so to start, but then rounding sufficiently as the fine fruit flavors kick in.
