Quinta da Pedra dates back to the 17th century. It is situated in the heart of Moncao and Melgaco, a sub region of the Vinho Verde appellation, where Alvarinho excels. The property's dry farmed 155 acres benefit from the pure granite soils on gently slopes with perfect exposure. Fermentation begins in temperature controlled stainless steel, then finishes for at least 12 months in very old, used French oak barrels (10+ year old). Batonnage is carried out for 6 months.

Tasting Note
Bright yellow. Pronounced aroma of fresh stone fruit with citrus tones, white flowers and wet rocks. Medium to full body, with a refreshing acidity that cuts through the palate. Layers of aromatics along with a silky texture that lingers throughout the palate.
Food Pairing
Perfect accompaniment with fresh seafood, grilled fish, white meats and Asian gastronomy.
