Made from the Alvarinho grape variety, grown in the Moncao and Melgaco sub-region. With its mild climate and mountain shelter along the Spanish-Portuguese border, this region is perfect for ripening grapes.
92 Pts Jamessuckling.com 'A nervy nose of wet stones with a briny lift and a distinctly saline edge. The palate is bright and vertical, medium- to full-bodied, with fresh green nuances and a fine saline thread that carries through to the finish. Drink now.'

About the Wine Maker
Our family decided to strengthen our long-running relationship with the legendary Vinho Verde producer Anselmo Mendes by forming the Mendes & Symington partnership in 2023. This joint venture between our two families aims to develop premium wines from the prestigious Monção and Melgaço sub-region of the Vinho Verde DOC in northern Portugal.
The company acquired the renowned Alvarinho wine, Contacto, (produced by Anselmo Mendes) which has seen remarkable success in Portugal and internationally, and which both families believe has great potential for further development. Mendes & Symington
