The Ponte da Barbeita is a historic Gothic bridge in the Barbeita pa
rish (Monção, Portugal) that crosses the Mouro River, a tributary of
the Miño River that forms a natural border between Portugal and Ga
licia. Two territories that share the same passion: the albariño grape.
Surrounded by steep peaks covered in exuberant vegetation, the al
varinho vineyards (as the variety is known in Portugal) grow on this
fertile ground bathed by the Atlantic breeze. A continental, cold, and
rainy climate that provides us with the ideal conditions for creating
this smooth, fresh and surprisingly mineral wine with the Vinho Verde
Designation of Origin.
