Soalheiro Alvarinho Branco

Description

An intense, elegant wine with body. The harvest began at the end of August, making this year's vintage the earliest ever in Soalheiro, yet it demonstrated an exceptional balance between the fruit and the acidity of the Alvarinho grapes from the unique terroir of Monção and Melgaço. The grapes, exclusively of the Alvarinho variety, are hand‑picked into small capacity crates and transported to the cellar in a short time. After pressing, the must is allowed to settle for 48 hours, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature using pre‑selected yeasts. Bottling takes place after the wine is stabilised, then it undergoes bottle ageing. The winemaking of Alvarinho Soalheiro is directed toward producing a wine that concentrates the quality of the grapes and allows for good evolution after bottling. The colour is a bright lemon‑yellow, the aroma has the classic profile of Alvarinho Soalheiro—intense, tropical with mineral notes. Contains sulfites.
