Anselmo Mendes A Torre 2019
Descrizione
A Torre è il top del Vinho Verde, fatto da un produttore di riferimento come Anselmo Mendes. Viene dalla storica Quinta da Torre, una tenuta del XIV secolo a Monção e Melgaço, e si distingue perché è stato fatto maturare per 9 mesi sulle fecce in botti usate, che gli danno più complessità. Un Albariño di riferimento con una buona capacità di invecchiamento, ideale da abbinare a pesci bianchi, formaggi stagionati o pasta, che riesce a catturare tutta l'essenza del terroir del Miño.

Recensioni degli esperti
The 2019 A Torre is a new Alvarinho, sourced from the Quinta da Torre property. They selected the very best bunches, the ripest from each plant, using the eight different soils/textures they have. It fermented in used 400-liter barrels, where the wine matured with the full lees for nine months. It has a bright almost fluorescent color and complexity, depth, clout, freshness and elegance, with a lot of subtleness and notes of truffle, spices and herbs. The super-balanced palate has citrus freshness, tangerine, herbs and a salty twist. This goes way beyond being a varietal wine—it's elegant, mineral and complex, one of the best Alvarinho/Albariño wines in the world. There is a crystalline purity here that is breathtaking. For Anselmo Mendez, 2019 was an exceptional year, and the wine should be truly long lived. 4,000 bottles were filled in June 2020 and kept for no less than 54 months in bottle before it was released in early 2025.
Dried peaches, honey, white flowers and hints of nectarines and grapefruit zest on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, incisive and concentrated, with a ripe core that expands gracefully in the finish. Beautifully balanced between richness, fruit and acidity. This comes from a single parcel within a single vineyard in Moncao. Fermented and aged for nine months in used barrels, followed by bottle aging for four years. Drink now.
