Alvarinho, the Most Valuable Grape in Portugal

The Alvarinho is the most valuable grape in the country because of its rarity and low production. The location, luxurious surroundings, soil, and microclimate generated by the proximity of the Minho River make the region perfect to grow high-quality grapes. The most important stage in winemaking is the harvesting practices and maturation of grapes by the producers. The staff at Quintas de Melgaço combines their traditional methods with modern and innovative processes to make sure the wines are of the best quality possible. Before the bottling, their experts check whether the wines have the correct chemical composition. The Green Wines Viticulture Commission’s Lab issues the Approval Seal to their wines after an examination. The Food Safety System controls all the stages in their winemaking process from the cellar to the bottle.
