The Alvarinho variety is one of the most notable Portuguese white grape varieties. It is a very old and low production variety that is mainly planted in the Monção and Melgaço area (Vinhos Verdes region).

You can get two different shapes: small bunch, not compact and small and golden berries or medium bunch and bigger berries that remain greenish when ripe.

This variety is responsible for the success of the first Portuguese “monovarietal” wines (a single variety), because in Portugal the blended wines (mixture of several varieties) are more common.

X

The Alvarinho variety produces very aromatic wines that reach high alcoholic levels while maintaining a very balanced acidity.
