Product History and Little-Known Facts
The Alvarinho grape, often referred to as Albariño in Spain, thrives in Portugal’s Vinho Verde region due to its unique climate and soil conditions. This grape is traditionally hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. The Medusa Alvarinho label was created as a tribute to the maritime culture of Portugal, with the Medusa symbol representing the wild beauty of the Atlantic coast where these vines grow.
The wine’s name and label design reflect the powerful connection between the ocean and the vineyards, as many Alvarinho vines are grown close to the Atlantic, absorbing the refreshing coastal breezes. This coastal influence is reflected in the wine’s crispness and vibrant minerality, making it a distinct choice among white wines.
