Torre de Menagem White is a refreshing Vinho Verde wine from Quintas de Melgaço, located in the renowned Monção and Melgaço region of northern Portugal. This white wine is a blend of the native grape varieties Alvarinho and Trajadura. Alvarinho lends aromatic intensity and crisp acidity, bringing tropical fruit flavors and vibrancy, while Trajadura adds body and subtle floral notes that enhance the wine’s balance and complexity.
The grapes undergo gentle pressing and are decanted for 8 to 12 hours at controlled temperatures. Fermentation lasts about 15 days at cool temperatures, followed by aging in stainless steel tanks with regular stirring of fine lees for three months. This process imparts a smooth texture while preserving a perfect balance of acidity.
Torre de Menagem White shows a clear, citrus color and offers delicate, persistent aromas of tropical fruits. On the palate, it is soft, balanced, and irresistibly refreshing, making it ideal for warm weather enjoyment. It pairs excellently with light dishes such as salads, seafood, and white meats, and also works well as a vibrant aperitif. Best served chilled between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius, this wine beautifully showcases the unique characteristics of the Vinho Verde region and is a versatile choice for many occasions.
