Quinta São Gião, Alvarinho & Trajadura Grande Escolha 2024

Family estate from Guimarães in northern Portugal. The vineyards are on granite soil, which gives the wine a crisp, fresh signature. Grande Escolha stands for the house's better selection.

What you smell
Citrus and white fruit, with a tropical hint of, for example, pineapple and passion fruit.

What you taste
Soft and full-bodied, with a fresh acidity that keeps the wine lively. The granite soil gives a salty, stony undertone. The finish lingers long.

How it's made
70% Alvarinho for body and fruit, 30% Trajadura for suppleness. The grapes grow on granite soil in the Ave sub-region, which explains the crisp, mineral style.

Serving
Serve chilled, between 8 and 10°C. Decanting is not necessary. A standard white wine glass is sufficient.

Pairs well with

  • Grilled sardines: the fresh acidity cuts through the oily flesh of the fish.
  • White fish ceviche: the citrus in the wine enhances the lime in the dish.
  • Young goat cheese: the salty undertone beautifully complements the fresh, creamy cheese.

Quinta São Gião is een familiebedrijf in Guimarães, de bakermat van Portugal zelf, en maakt sinds 1972 Vinho Verde van eigen druiven. Drie generaties Almeida Freitas hebben het bedrijf gevormd, van oprichting tot de kunst die nu op de etiketten staat.

Vinho Verde is geen druif maar een klimaat: groen, nat en Atlantisch, in het uiterste noordwesten van Portugal. Het levert lichte, prikkelende witte wijnen met weinig alcohol, gemaakt van druiven die verder nergens ter wereld zo worden gebruikt.
