Contacto Alvarinho is obtained from the noble Alvarinho grape variety grown exclusively in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The location of this sub-region provides it with a temperate climate, being surrounded by a range of mountains on the Spanish border, which allows us a unique combination between precipitation, temperature and light required for the perfect maturation of the grapes.
