Quinta da Calçada are one of the oldest producers in Vinho Verdes Amarante region. The Lago Cerqueira family built their cellars here in 1917and over a century later, their wines have gone from strength to strength. This is an elegant expression of Alvarinhoknown in Spain as Albariñothanks to the subregions high elevation. Due to the vineyards lofty altitudes, grapes benefit from the warm, sunny days and cooler nighttime temperatures. The result? Ripe, juicy flavour balanced by a refreshing acidity. Expect floral hints and notes of tropical fruit and citrus. The refreshing acidity and minerality makes it a great part for fried fish dishes like calamari or fresh sushi and sashimi.
