2025 Nortico, Minho, Alvarinho Cuvee_Vieilles Vignes Rouge the wine undergoes malolactic fermentationNortico is produced by Alberto Orte, who sources fruit from more than 100 small, family tended plots located in the villages of Mono and Melgao along the Minho River. These vines are planted in granite soils, with some specimens dating back to the early 20th century. The resulting wine is bright and textured, offering notes of fresh peach, pear, and citrus balanced by a distinct saline minerality. The 2025 vintage preserves the producer's signature
