As experiências com Alvarinho fora do seu habitat natural prosseguem, agora com o Monte da Ravasqueira. Provado no coração do alto Minho, numa semana onde se andou a beber outros Alvarinhos "puros", a comparação acaba por ser natural.
O aroma não engana, apesar de não ser pronunciado, tem o típico toque tropical e a presença limonada.
Muito vivo na boca, excessivamente mineral, levissimo, quase transparente. No inicio há a essência tropical, limão, tangerina, algum chá, finíssimo. Fresco e tónico. Termina curto.
O melhor alvarinho estrangeiro.
Classificação: ★★★☆☆
Alvarinho is a wine grape that it's natural and original habitat is "Alto Minho", but lately some producers and making experiences in Alentejo region. This one was drunk in the original "Vinho Verde" region, where I had the opportunity to taste others made from the same wine variety and as such, the comparison is coming easily.
Aroma is closed and slightly muted. Some tropical hints and lemon.
Kicks in the mouth, very light, probably to much mineral. In the beginning some tropical notes, lemon, mandarin, tea leaves. Fresh, tonic and sharp. Short finish.
This is the best "alien" Alvarinho so far.
