Ipiranga Alvarinho 2023
32,90 €
A yellow colour with a citrus tinge. Aromatically fresh, dominated by citrus fruits, with herbaceous notes. It reveals the complexity of ageing in used barrels. The acidity is textured and integrated, serving as the main axis of the wine on the palate. It finishes dry and gastronomic.

António Braga
"After 20 years of working for others, I decided to make my own wines.
I started as a winemaker in the Douro. I've always loved what I do! Life led me to have a career, but the truth is that I always wanted to do something for myself!
I was looking for independence! It's not so much about freedom, it's more about doing what I want. In my independence, I do what I want, how I want!
In December 2021, I decided to start my own business. I put together a group of investor friends and we went ahead with the project: António Braga Wines.
We have two lines in our range. One that we like to call the contemporary classics and another that tells original stories.”
