MURALHAS DE MONÇÃO
The Cellar also produces the caste Trajadura which is allotted with Alvarinho wine and gives origin to the wine under the name of Muralhas de Monção (Walls of Monção). This wine benefits from the freshness of the Trajadura caste, with a unique flavour and alcohol contents of around 11°. It is a dry wine which does not have the acidulous characteristics of most green wines. It is full-bodied wine, with a little gas, excellent at the table to accompany fish or shellfish when not to cool.The Muralhas de Monção wine shares most of the characteristics of Alvarinho, differing mainly in its lower alcohol contents. Colour citrine, bouquet delicate scent, proceeding from Alvarinho and Trajadura, but less intense than Alvarinho. A taste that results from a balance between alcohol contents and acidity. Not as intense as Alvarinho due to a less dry extract, but still full-bodied. Harmony: the relation between its alcohol contents, fixed acidity and flavour component result in good harmony and mouth-persistence. You could drink this happily enough as an aperitif, but it really shines with food. Seafood will work but fish is a better choice given the body of the wine.
