Alvarinho from Monção e Melgaço's granite soils and Atlantic climate.

Quinta da Cheira produces wine in Monção e Melgaço, the southernmost subregion of Vinho Verde in Portugal's Minho. The area's Atlantic influence and granite soils shape a distinctive terroir, one that favors the indigenous Alvarinho grape—a variety prized for its mineral precision and aromatic intensity. The winery's Alvarinho demonstrates the potential of this corner of northern Portugal, earning recognition from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Alvarinho from Monção e Melgaço carries more weight and complexity than its Vinho Verde cousins farther north, with the capacity to age and develop beyond the fresh, frivolous profile the region is often assumed to offer.
