Loureiro is doing particularly well in the middle part of the region, in the area of Braga. This part of the Vinho Verde, in the direction of Oporto, is more under the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and under these circumstances it is the Loureiro that does it perfectly. That's where Anselmo Mendes gets his Loureiro from. This Loureiro comes from the valley of the river Lima, according to experts the best place. The grapes undergo a brief soaking on the skins to give it more aroma. This is followed by a low-temperature fermentation of 12 to 16 ºC to give it nice fruit. He gains depth by maturing on the fine lees of at least 4 months.
