The renowned wine critic Robert Parker gave this wine 90 pts in his review.

Quinta da Calçada Alvarinho is citrus yellow in colour with a greenish tinge, and an intense but balanced aroma of tropical fruits, with slight vegetal notes. In the mouth it is very fresh with good volume and a long, persistent finish.

Quinta da Calçada is located in the historic center of Amarante, 40 minutes from Porto. It is located in the sub-region of Amarante, in the Vinho Verde region, about 10 minutes from the entrance to the Douro region. This sub-region is characterized by granitic soils, with some mixtures of schist, and Atlantic influence, producing wines markedly mineral, of high freshness and great gastronomic aptitude.
