Quinta de Santa Cristina Alvarinho 2022 White Wine
Quinta de Santa Cristina Alvarinho presents clean and intense, with tropical fruit notes. In the mouth reveals smoothness and fruity character with a persistent finish
Quinta Santa Cristina is a wine producer from Vinhos Verdes region
<p></p><p>Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas is a result of the passion to display the individuality and character that the creators of this project have with the Douro region for more than two decades. After so many years of being surprised by this unique wine region, in 2009 the time arrived to show what they have been seeing in Douro wines. The company's history began in that year with the production of white wines from Murça, an area forgotten by progress, but that produces unique wines with full identity. In 2010, work began on an investment in the winery in Martim, Douro, and in 2012, in the cradle of Alvarinho, Monção region. In 2013, a partnership was started in Alentejo, vinifying, in third party facilities, the grapes chosen and acquired in the region of Estremoz. In 2017, Lua Cheia has extended its presence into other Portuguese wine region – Dão</p>
<p></p><p>Sem Igual Skin is made from Alvarinho, Arinto, and Azal grapes, which undergo three days of skin contact before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The result is a wine with more body yet fresh, featuring an expressive aroma and a long finish. A highly gastronomic wine, perfect with white meats, rich fish, and cheeses.</p>
<p></p><p>Casa da Tapada Superior Alvarinho Loureiro White Wine presents clear, citrus-coloured wine. Aromas of lime, lemon, peach and pineapple with tropical and floral citrus notes. Dry, complex, fresh and full-bodied with a fruity and persistent finish.</p>
<p><span>TURRA Wines arise from the will and dedication of two young entrepreneurs combined with a culture of vine and wine, with a generational background. After more than 30 years of experience in the production of </span><span>vinho verde</span><span>, this brand is launched as a reference of a high quality wine.</span></p>
<p></p><p>Anselmo Mendes was born and raised in Monção. It was there that since childhood he became familiar with the culture of the vineyard and the production of wine.<br />The Alvarinho grape variety and its wine, produced there, entered his life in such a way that today Anselmo Mendes and Alvarinho are related</p>
<p></p><p>Quinta das Arcas has around 50ha, 35ha of vineyards stand out, around 30 years old, where under the influence of a very particular micro-climate grapes of high quality of the Loureiro, Trajadura and Arinto grapes are obtained.</p>
<p>On the nose, Quinta de Monforte Padeiro Red Wine offers a captivating bouquet of apricot, white flowers, grapefruit zest, and a delicate vegetal note complemented by subtle oak toast. The palate is fresh and mineral, with a discreet greasiness, medium body, soft yet present tannins, and mouthcoating texture, finishing with clear fruit and pleasant persistence. A gastronomic red, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, or regional cheese boards. Scoring 17.5 pts by <em>Vinhos Grandes Escolhas</em>, it redefines expectations of red wines from Vinho Verde</p>
