Producer
Monção’s Winery was founded in 1958 thanks to the initiative of 25 vine growers. It is located in the middle of the “Vinhos Verdes” region in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço, on the Portuguese-Spanish border. The wine is a blend of Alvarinho and Trajadura grapes, hence its name – Trajarinho.
Winemaking
Extraction of the must (pulp) from the 1st and 2nd pressings. Decantation (24 hours at 14 C). Controlled fermentation between 18-20 C. Racking/Soutirage. Primary filtration. Cold stabilization by contact method. Soil filtration. Final filtration through membranes.
Tasting Note
A bright lemon colour with notes of peach and apricot on the nose. There’s a lovely pettience on the palate with lifted notes of lemon zest on the finish.
Food Matching
Fantastic as an aperitif and with shellfish, fish and white meat.
