WINE DESCRIPTION

Anselmo Mendes Pardusco is a red wine produced in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown in the region's unique granitic soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging in used, larger oak barrels to preserve the wine's typicity and fruitiness. Pardusco is a medium-bodied wine with a vibrant ruby color and aromas of red fruits and spices. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, with a refreshing acidity and a long, persistent finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Anselmo Mendes

Region: Vinho Verde

Vinho Verde is a light, refreshing wine from Portugal's northwest region. It is made from a variety of grapes, including Loureiro, Trajadura, and Alvarinho, and is known for its low alcohol content and zesty acidity. This unique wine has a long history in Portugal, and is now enjoyed around the world. Vinho Verde has been produced in Portugal since the 12th century. It was originally made from a blend of local grapes, and was known for its light, refreshing taste. In the 19th century, the region began to specialize in white wines, and the Vinho Verde style was born. The name "Vinho Verde" literally translates to "green wine," and refers to the fact that the wine is meant to be enjoyed young.
