2022 Muros Antigos Loureiro, Anselmo Mendes, Vinho Verde
Anselmo Mendes is one of Vinho Verde’s most iconic winemakers and the 2022 Muros Antigos Loureiro is a benchmark for the region. Made from 100% Loureiro, it comes from northwest Portugal’s Lima River Valley where you can find the grape’s most compelling examples. There is a little citrus and yellow pear on the nose, beautiful length, and some savoury structure from lees ageing that brings the wine together.
