Tasting Notes

'95 points – top 100 Portuguese wines' - Jacobo García-Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com

Génese is from Monção and Melgaço, 100% Alvarinho grapes, carefully selected from vineyards in altitude. The winemaking process combines slow fermentation in stainless steel with partial malolactic fermentation and aging 20% of the wine in Mixtus Barrels—barrels crafted from different types of wood. A rounder, richer and fuller style of Alvarinho that has more texture and weight than many and possesses great cellar potential too.

More Info



Luis Cerdeira is synomous with Vinho Verde since as a young man he joined his father who started the Soalheiro wine estate in 1982. Now that Luis's own son Manuel is a young man he wanted to do the same thing for him, and together they have started a winery called Vine Vinu, which means from vine to glass, to explore different terroirs. They have two - one which is coastal made in Requiao, which is 20km form the sea - and one which is in the mountains in Melgaco. They are bottling them separately.

FROM THE PRESS

“95 points Genese – top 100 Portuguese wines”
Jacobo García-Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com
“Ripe greengages and still a suggestion of saltiness... On the palate, this has more structure and depth, notable richness and freshness combined (than Almanua). A powerful yet fresh white showing the calibre and seriousness of wines from this part of the Vinho Verde region. Firm, grainy texture. Many-layered and likely to age well. Good Value. 17/20, Julia Harding MW for Jancisrobinson.com”
