About Anselmo Mendes Tempo

When discussing a viticultural benchmark in Portugal, one must certainly mention Anselmo Mendes. Acquainted with the wine culture of Monção from childhood, he is now a distinguished oenologist and consultant who seeks to capture the essence of each terroir, crafting wines of distinct character. Acknowledged as one of the most innovative producers of the indigenous alvarinho grape and a leading ambassador for his country, Anselmo consistently pushes boundaries through experimentation and research. His goal is to create authentic wines that are true reflections of the intrinsic qualities of each wine-producing region where he invests his passion.

In the case of Anselmo Mendes Tempo, we are introduced to an alvarinho from the Denominación de Origen Vinho Verde, situated in the Valle de Minho. It originates from a vineyard over 15 years old, with granitic soil and situated at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level. The vines, characterized by high acidity levels and good ripeness, are cultivated with respect and a limited yield. The grapes are hand-picked into small boxes and promptly transported to the winery. There, the grapes undergo skin maceration followed by fermentation with a portion of whole clusters and indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the wine matures for 6 months in 400-liter used French oak barrels with regular battonage.

With such a rich oenological heritage offered by Portugal, Anselmo Mendes has mastered the art of elevating its prestige. Anselmo Mendes Tempo, an aged alvarinho, is a vivid testament to this endeavour. It is an exquisite choice for those who wish to savour the freshness, lightness, and aromatic bouquet of Vinho Verde.
