Muralhas de Monção 2022 Vinho Verde
Aged with precision in Portugal’s iconic Vinho Verde region, this award-winning Alvarinho-Trajadura blend captivates with its aromatic intensity and vibrant structure. Recognized as a Wine Spectator Top 100 Pick for 2023 (90 points), it balances bold fruit character with refreshing minerality—a hallmark of Portugal’s finest whites.

Appearance & Palate
Crisp citrine hues give way to a lively nose of white peach, lemon zest, and hints of ginger spice. On the palate, succulent apricot and blood orange notes intertwine with bright acidity and a subtle saline finish, creating a crisp yet layered drinking experience ideal for warm-weather enjoyment or coastal-inspired meals.

Winemaker’s Vision
Crafted to emphasize Alvarinho’s tropical fruit backbone while complementing it with Trajadura’s floral nuances and textural depth. The result? A harmonious dry white with persistent freshness (12.5% ABV) that stands out among traditional single-varietal offerings.
