Muros Antigos Escolha is made from a selection of three excellent white grape varieties: Alvarinho, Loureiro and Avesso. The grape variety Alvarinho cames from the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. Due to the strategic location of the sub-region, there are ideal conditions for the perfect ripening of the grapes. The presence of Alvarinho in Muros Antigos Escolha provides structure and body. The Loureiro grape variety is located in our vineyards in the Lima sub-region with granitic soils, deep and poor in organic matter. Due to the Atlantic influence of this region, the freshness and salinity are well present as well as the floral perfume typical of the grape variety. Regarding Avesso grape variety from the in Baião region, in the border between the continental climate of the Douro Valley and the maritime influence of Douro Litoral. The soils are dry and poor, granitic sandy loam soils. These characteristics will produce a wine with an acidity and minerality unique, from which we single out a profound balance between acidity, minerality and alcohol content which will deeply improve Muros Antigos Escolha.
