Quinta do Santiago "Assinatura de Família 2023 Vinho Verde Monção, Portugal

750ml bottle

10.5% abv

40% Arinto, 30% Trajadura, 30% Loureiro (traditional blend in the Vinho Verde demarcated region, especially in the Sousa sub-region). 

Frosted lemon, lime, hints of fuzzy nectarine with saline streaks. Super bright, high energy palate with an effervescent mouthfeel; racy, stony minerality and green apple finish. 4th generation winery and farm since 1899, in the heart of the Vinho Verde region of Portugal. For 100 years the family mainly sold their grapes to large compani es. In 2009 Grandma “Mariazinha” challenged her family to come back to their roots and stop selling grapes instead to become a boutique winery. They have focused on native varietals, creating authentic and terroir-driven wine led by Joana Santiago.
