Anselmo Mendes Tempo Alvarinho 2020
Descripción
Tempo es el resultado del profundo estudio e investigación que el maestro Anselmo Mendes realiza sobre la Alvarinho. Remitiéndose con nostalgia al pasado, este vino de excelencia se elabora "a la vieja usanza" recurriendo a una maceración y fermentación total con los hollejos. Este método tradicional le otorga un color más profundo, mayor riqueza tánica, volumen y una elegancia soberbia , consolidándose como un blanco de culto con un potencial de guarda extraordinario de hasta 20 años.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2020 Tempo Alvarinho has a darker, deeper amber color and a more oxidative nose. It was produced with Alvarinho grapes from the soils with more clay, and the golden/orange grapes had more polyphenols, with its bunches getting more exposure. So, the wine was born with a dark color. It fermented in stainless steel with 50% full clusters, where it remained for one month, and the other 50% fermented with crushed grapes for one month, then the wine was pressed, blended and matured in 400-liter barrels for one year. It has a dark amber color and a much more oxidative and evolved nose, with notes of honey, beeswax, pollen and quince paste, and more volatility. It has notes of dry plums, abundant tannins and a dusty finish. It comes in at 12% alcohol, with a pH of 3.48 and 6.8 grams of acidity. I found it too oxidative for my taste. 2,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2021.
