Quinta da Calcada Terroir Alvarinho

This show-stopping Alvarinho is like the superhero of Vinho Verde—cape-worthy and ready to save your evening from boring wine syndrome. It struts its stuff with both estate terroir swagger and all the perfumed glory of Portugal's rock star grape. Rich, dense texture paired with zippy acidity that keeps everything fresh and exciting. There's this gorgeous creamy warmth that plays tag with the acidic zing, creating a mouthful of pure joy.

This isn't just any white wine—it's complex, and so food-friendly it practically sends dinner invitations.

Nestled in the charming historic centre of Amarante (just a quick 40-minute drive from Porto), Quinta da Calçada is living its best wine life. Situated in the Amarante sub-region of Vinho Verde, it's practically neighbours with the famous Douro region. The secret to its deliciousness? Those special granitic soils mingling with bits of schist, all while enjoying that refreshing Atlantic influence. The result? Wines that are mineral-packed flavour bombs with mouthwatering freshness and an uncanny ability to make ANY food taste better. It's like the wine equivalent of that friend who gets along with everyone at the party!
