Granja Amareleja vineyards are located in the left bank of Guadiana River, where the soils are sandy and the temperatures the highest in Alentejo reaching >40C. Moreto grape variety is the ex-libris of the viticulture here, where it continues to be cultivated, mostly, ungrafted (“Pé-Franco”). Perhaps for this reason its wines are so aromatic, balanced and distinct.

Natural Mystic D.O.C. Vinho Verde 2022
Regular price £15.95Decanter.com
"Talc-edged, with lime flower and zesty lemon and lime aromatics. Ticking the classic boxes, it is (just) off-dry, with slight petillance. Deftly balanced residual sugar (4.4g/l) gently softens the edges, without detracting from its juiciness.
Sourced from around Amarante, well inland, the fruit intensity (citrus with delicate nectarine bite) makes for a friendly style with a zippy finish. Still going strong on day two - a testament to quality fruit."
