WINE NOTES

An interesting blend of Alvarinho and Trajadura grapes grown from within the sub-region of Monção. Created in a crisp and lean style, the Trajadura in this wine acts as a compliment to the more floral Alarinho within the blend. Many inexpensive vinho verde’s on the market are under 10% in alcohol and injected with CO2 to cover up the wines flaws, with Blue Fin we have still kept the alcohol moderate at 11% and rely on great fruit and clean winemaking to show the house style.
