Milagres Purple Edition Alvarinho 2016

Quinta da Pedra is one of the most historical properties in the Alto Minho region, dating back to the 17th century. It is situated in the heart of Monção and Melgaço, a sub region of the Vinho Verde appellation, where Alvarinho excels. The property has 53ha, completely dry farmed, benefiting from pure granite soils, with gentle slopes for drainage and perfect exposure. Two wines are produced here: Milagres by Quinta da Pedra, which is our “perfect” Alvarinho and Graça da Pedra, which shows a more young version of this variety. Also, back vintages of Milagres can be released from time to time as a “Purple Edition”.
