This alvarinho is bang for the buck and an excellent pairing with seafood. Minerality and a crisp freshness with notes of lime, apples and gooseberries.

Crisp, fresh and zingy, intense and minerally with citrus and lime fruit softened with a little cream. The finish had a decent length but was just a little heavy handed with the residual sugar. A popular choice. CHP 89 pts

In my opinion this wine from 'Mr. Albarino' should go with food. I guess sardines from the grill would be pretty nice: the acidity from the wine would 'cut' the oily fish. On its own it is a bit bleak and thin, but at € 13 it is not in a bad QPR

Peach and lime fruit infused with a lovely streak of acidity, enriched with a squirt of oil and a little honey to balance it out. Perhaps a little too much residual sugar on the finish but delicious nonetheless. CHP 88 pts

Dry at first with a burst of lime fruit seasoned with pepper. Mouthwatering and with piercing acidity, it develops weight on the mid-palate which caries on through to a lingering finish which is when slight sweetness is revealed. This is a wine that simply gets better with each sip. Love it. VGV CHP 89 pts

I preferred the 2020 and the 2021 that I had with a whole Dover sole in Portugal. They both seemed more balanced between the fruit and savoury. This was much more to the savoury side. Maybe will settle down with a year or two in bottle

Always a very pretty wine, and the 2022 is no exception. Aromas of yellow peach, green melon,airy herbs and flowers and a little lime and grapefruit. Medium-bodied, juicy, beautiful ripe fruit, soft for this bottling but fresh enough. Clean, fruity and fresh on the finish, mineral and salty tones are invigorating. Drink now and over the next year or two.

Grönt äpple, tropisk frukt, grapefrukt, lime, mineral och sten. Frisk syra men något urvattnad frukt. Grapefrukt dominerar i avslutet. Helt okej för priset.

My first go w Anselmo Mendes’ entry-level alvarinho, here is Contacto 2022, young, fresh w stealthy acidity making the wine a light-bodied go-to f upcoming summer adventures. Light greenish-transparent in the glass, straw reflections. Nose brings scents of fresh green apples & pears, lime & lemon, grapefruit, white flowers & freshly cut grass. Palate is spicy m-bodied, lightly skin-contacted granting the wine a fair structure, flavours echoing nose, lively acidity & minerality, finishing on a saline-bitter note!

Fresh, acid forward, but after a short while more round and balanced. Yellow fruits, minerality and a good complement to our chosen dishes
