The Ponte de Barbeita is a historic Gothic bridge in the parish of Barbeita (Monção, Portugal) that crosses the Mouro River, a tributary of the Minho River and a natural border between Portugal and Galicia. Two territories that share the same passion: the Albariño grape. Surrounded by rolling hills covered in lush vegetation, the Alvarinho vineyards (as the variety is known in Portugal) thrive in this fertile land bathed by the Atlantic breeze. A continental climate—cool and rainy—provides the ideal conditions to craft this smooth, fresh, and surprisingly mineral wine from the Vinho Verde appellation.
