Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Pure Loureiro, and with Anselmo Mendes that means a short skin contact before pressing — just enough to carry the scent of the grape along, not enough to add structure to it. After that at least four months on the fine lees. Loureiro means bay laurel, and that floral, almost bay-like nose is the hallmark: white blossom, lime, a touch of green apple. The lightest wine in this range, and one of the freshest in our entire white collection.

Anselmo Mendes
We were there when Anselmo launched his first wines under his own name and we are still following him. Meanwhile, he grew to become 'mister Alvarinho'.
