Frequently asked about Quinta de Gomariz Alvarinho
What does Gomariz Alvarinho taste like?
Lime, white peach, honeysuckle and wet stone on the nose; citrus, stone fruit, mineral spine and a saline finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long mineral close.
Why is it bottled as IGT Minho?
DOC Vinho Verde reserves single-variety Alvarinho for the Monção e Melgaço sub-region. Quinta de Gomariz is in the Sousa sub-region, so the wine is bottled as IGT Minho, a regional appellation that allows single-variety Alvarinho elsewhere in the Minho.
When should I drink it?
Drink within 1 to 5 years of vintage.
What food pairs with it?
Atlantic shellfish platters, polvo a feira, grilled prawns with garlic and sushi.
