NEW IN STORE: The exceptional Alvarinhos wines from the Vale dos Ares in the Vinho Verde region

The Vale dos Ares is a young family project that embraced with passion the concept of "boutique winery", dedicated to the production of 100% Alvarinho in Monção and Melgaço sub-region, home of this well-known grape variety, which results in some of the greatest national white wines.

The Vale dos Ares wines come from grapes produced at Quinta do Mato, owned by the family since 1683, which focuses on small production in order to know and control every moment from the harvest to the bottling of the wine, in order to increasingly raise the quality of their products.

Having characteristics appreciated all over the world, the Vinhos Verdes bring a fresh and aromatic profile, which you can find in the Vale dos Ares Alvarinho Sur Lies White 2017. This wine goes through fermentation in stainless steel, then follows a stage with the fine lees in suspension for 18 months, and finalizes in a 2-month aging in bottle. Resulting in a harmonious wine, with good structure and balanced acidity and an elegant and persistent finish.

Another gem in the Vale dos Ares wines is the Vale dos Ares Vinha da Coutada White 2017, which goes through the fermentation process in French oak barrels and after that, it still follows an aging period of 12 months in those same barrels and another 15 months in bottle. This whole process gives life to a citrus colored wine, full of intensity, with an aroma of honey and nuts. An Alvarinho wine full of volume, with good structure and well-marked acidity, finishing elegant and extremely long.

We invite you to discover some of the best Alvarinhos in Portugal. Light, fresh and aromatic, with an exceptional quality, which you can find in our store.
