Aliança
Casal Mendes is
one of the greatest Portuguese wine factories, founded
in 1927 almost at the same time as the 2nd Portuguese Republic. It was one of the first exporting wine
companies with destination Brazil and Overseas Territories. The
founders Ângelo Neves and Domingos Silva
produce wines from the Beira, Bairrada (headquarters), Douro, Dão
and Northwest regions (where this mixture comes from). The varieties
chosen are: Azal,
Pedernã (Arinto),
Trajadura and
Loureiro.
Visually
a golden yellow view with some tiny bubbles that announce subtle CO2
in the mouth. On the nose, fruit notes such as apple
and pear at the beginning. With the
passing of the minutes come memories of Portuguese mountain grass,
nuts and a saline bottom. In the mouth round entrance, gasified but
pleasant development, and an acidity that puts freshness
and nerve. Very light in the mouth,
with a slight sweetness and a short persistence that leaves white
bone fruit. Its only 10% alcohol
make it ideal for any time of the day.
Today Aliança Casal Mendes is a reference of Portuguese wine in terms of production and profits. A production that thanks Francisco Antunes does not need long negotiations for its release to the market thanks to a price of 3'85 euros / $ 4'29 . That you need is an ideal pairing: I propose Portuguese cuisine, and specifically a Bacalhau à Lagareiro typical of the Minho and Douro valleys. My second match is another Bacalhau, this time roasted with sweet potatoes to murro, coming from the Beira Alta (510 Kcal per serving). To enjoy with Casal Mendes and the whole family!
