"The varietal 2024 Muros Antigos Alvarinho is their entry-level Alvarinho, linked to Melgaço, from slopes where there's more granite and less alluvial elements, silt and clay, higher altitude vineyards and shallower soils. In drier years, the vines suffer more, but that's not the case in 2024. This has some austerity and a vibrant palate, serious, still elegant, floral and perfumed, varietal with restraint. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.14 and 5.9 grams of acidity, which means harmony and balance. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2025."

"A pure, briny alvarinho with aromas of crusted salt, green olives, limes and grapefruit. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with a sense of texture derived from aging on the lees. Bright and direct, with freshness and a pleasant, enveloping saline note. Drink now."

"This Alvarinho, with its green fruit aromas, is young, with a fine potential. It has intense acidity hinting at the creamy texture that will develop. Drink from 2025. Best Buy. —R.V"
