Description

type of wine

Anselmo Mendes Beira Int. is a wine produced in the Beira Interior region, sub-region of Cova da Beira. Region surrounded by Serra da Estrela, Marofa and Malcata is characterized by a harsh climate with negative temperatures in winter and very hot and dry summers. For this wine, we used old vines with the Syria and Fonte Cal varieties, characterized by citrus aromas and a unique freshness and minerality, fully implemented throughout the border region of the country.
