Description
Last year, A&D Wines was named the most revolutionary wine producer by Portugal's most important wine magazine VINHO because of their innovative Vinho Verde. A&D are Alexandre & Dialina Gomas, technical engineers with a great love for wine. You can immediately see that technical precision in the extremely healthy vineyards and very clean winery in the renovated Quinta de Santa Teresa. The wines are made from indigenous varieties such as Avesso, Arinto and Malvasia Fina, with minimal intervention. Result: incredibly pure wines with a lot of authenticity of the grape, expression and freshness.
Monólogo represents a single grape from a single vineyard. Each wine from the Monólogo series has a 'monologue': its own story with its own character. That character is depicted in the striking labels. The Monólogo Avesso P67 is a monovarietal wine produced in Quinta de Santa Teresa. The Avesso is grown in plot P67, using sustainable agricultural practices. This estate is in transition to organic agriculture. The A&D WINES - MONÓLOGO AVESSO is a 100% Avesso - Vinho Verde. The Avesso is a typical grape for the Baião region. The man on the label (who symbolizes the full character of the Avesso) therefore wears traditional clothing.
In the glass, the Monólogo Avesso P67 has a straw yellow color with a green tinge. The wine is remarkably complex and full-bodied, especially for a wine in this price category. Nicely integrated acid with white and yellow fruit and subtle, spicy notes, a little anise. Full bodied in the mouth with a certain minerality in a long finish. It is a complex and full-bodied wine with a remarkable acidity that is well integrated. Another beautiful wine with which Portugal is increasingly showing itself as a producer of high-quality wines at a very attractive price.

Quinta de Santa Teresa is the Portuguese wine estate of Alexandre & Dialiana Gomas, technical engineers with a lot of love for wine. This technical precision is immediately reflected in the extremely healthy vineyards and very clean winery. The winery owns vineyards in Baião. This wine region belongs in name to Vinho Verde, but is located inland against the Douro. Don't expect carbonation or low alcohol, but a modern style of white wines that is richer than many a Vinho Verde. These are wines with aromatic expression and a lot of freshness.
Vineyard and region
Originating from the Vinho Verde sub-region of Baião, right next to the Douro area. In this warmer microclimate, the grapes acquire a concentration that is particularly aromatic for Vinho Verde. The oldest vines are used for this wine.
