In Monção and Melgaço, the two best areas of the Vinho Regional Minho appellation, the vines grow in parcels that are so small that the vine growers call them jardins – Portuguese for gardens.   Their granite and schist soils give rise to the crispest, most floral style of Alvarinho, with notes of citrus and ripe tropical fruits. Wines that enhance seafood dishes, grilled squid, ceviches, meat and fish tacos and both creamy and more intensely-flavoured cheeses. 

It's time to discover the crisp face of Alvarinho with Nórtico and Nórtico Reserva!

Alvarinho

12.95

A fresh, delicate wine; perfect as a celebratory drink alongside spicy food or seafood.

Nórtico Alvarinho is made using the finest Alvarinho grapes, picked from small parcels known as jardins – Portuguese for gardens. Once pressed, the must ferments at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, which awaken their fruity and floral aromas and retain the acidity. Nórtico is not aged in oak barrels, so that it reaches you in a lively and vibrant condition.

Alvarinho Reserva

12.95

A little more complexity, but with all the crisp freshness that characterises Alvarinho from the north of Portugal.

As in other great winemaking regions of the world, in the north of Portugal, there is a tradition of mixing wines from different vintages to create blends with an identity all of their own. Nórtico Reserva is the expert combination of different vintages blended by the prestigious Spanish winemaker Alberto Orte. It is a wine with fruity aromas, citrus and floral notes. With lively acidity, it also has the complexity that gives it greater depth.
