Pássaros Alvarinho-Trajadura Escolha blends fruit from the Minho and Lima river valleys, pairing Alvarinho's aromatic intensity and structure with the softer, rounder character of Trajadura. Fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature to preserve fruit purity, it is a crisp, fruit-forward Vinho Verde with green fruit, citrus and floral notes — an approachable expression that shows Anselmo Mendes' range beyond pure Alvarinho.
A reminder that Anselmo Mendes' talent extends beyond single-varietal Alvarinho — the blend with Trajadura shows real finesse in balancing structure with easy drinkability.
