Casa do Capitão-Mor Alvarinho Maceração Reserva White 2023

Casa do Capitão-Mor Alvarinho Maceração Reserva 2023 is a Vinho Verde white wine from Quinta de Paços, made from Alvarinho with skin maceration. Maceration on the skins gives this Alvarinho more texture and colour than a classic Vinho Verde, so it handles richer food with ease.

Tasting notes

Alvarinho brings citrus, stone fruit and a saline freshness. Time on the skins usually adds a golden hue, notes of dried peel and herbs, and a gentle grip on the palate. As a Reserva, it is a more serious, gastronomic take on the grape.

Food pairing

Try it with arroz de marisco, roast pork belly, grilled octopus with sweet potato, or a mature São Jorge cheese.
