Anselmo Mendes is widely credited with showing what the variety is capable of, working with lees ageing, skin contact and barrel fermentation at a time when Alvarinho was almost always made in a simple, early drinking style; the Symington family are among the best known producers in the Douro. Contacto takes its name from the short period of skin contact given to the juice before fermentation, a technique that draws more out of those thick skins than pressing alone would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServe at around 10 degrees with shellfish, grilled sardines or the salt cod dishes of northern Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.

The holding comes to under five hectares across three farms, on granite and steep terraces close to sea level, farmed by natural methods. Albariño is about three-quarters of the plantings, with Treixadura, Godello, Loureiro and Caíño accounting for the rest, and this bottling brings roughly a quarter of those companion varieties in alongside it. The fruit is hand-picked and held overnight at 10°C, then fermented slowly at cellar temperature in stainless steel, with a small part of the crop fermented in French oak.
