A new release from Mixtura, Gutier has found a small parcel of old, pergola-trained Alvarinho in Melgaço that he feels has incredible potential. Green Label is fluid and textured with ripe and intense mango, mandarin and grapefruit flavours mingling with a little nougat and exotic spice, sharp acidity and some flinty mineral notes on the finish.
