MURALHAS DE MONCAO VINHO VERDE 2023

On a sunlit afternoon in Portugal’s Minho region, the rolling vineyards of Adega de Monção glisten under the Atlantic breeze. Here, amidst the granite-rich soils and the cool maritime climate, the 2023 Muralhas de Monção Vinho Verde is born—a wine that captures the heart of its coastal terroir and delivers it straight to your glass.

The journey begins with its pale straw hue, kissed with greenish tinges and a playful hint of effervescence. As the wine is poured, its aromas unfurl like a summer breeze: zesty green apple and vibrant lime mingle with the delicate sweetness of peach and the floral whispers of jasmine and orange blossom. There’s a subtle herbaceous touch and a mineral edge, hinting at the granite soils and sea-kissed air that define its character.

Take a sip, and the story deepens. The palate is light and crisp, with citrus and ripe melon dancing across the tongue. The gentle effervescence enlivens the flavours, giving them a sprightly zest, while the wine’s hallmark acidity provides a refreshing backbone. Beneath it all lies a whisper of minerality, grounding the vibrant fruit and nodding to the wine’s origins.

The finish is clean and brisk, leaving behind a tantalising saline note that evokes the nearby Atlantic and invites another sip. It’s a wine that lingers just long enough, never overstaying its welcome but ensuring its memory stays with you.

Perfectly suited for seafood, fresh salads, or simply a warm evening under the sun, the 2023 Muralhas de Monção Vinho Verde is more than just a drink—it’s an ode to the lively spirit of Portugal’s Vinho Verde region. Each glass is a celebration of freshness, vitality, and the timeless beauty of the Minho landscape. So raise a glass, and let this vibrant wine take you on a journey to the heart of Portugal.
