Alvarinho “Classico”
€15.00
Yellow citrine color, with the classic Alvarinho aromas of intense and tropical fruit with a mineral profile. Grapes are harvested in small capacity boxes and carried to the cellar in a short space of time. After pressing, the must is decanted for 48 hours, followed by controlled temperature fermentation using pre-selected yeasts. The objective is to obtain an Alvarinho that concentrates the quality of the grapes while allowing for a good evolution in bottle. Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany seafood, fish and light poultry dishes.

Quinta de Soalheiro
Soalheiro, a pioneer in the creation of Alvarinho wine in Melgaco, is an international benchmark for the wines of this grape variety, blending perfectly into the distinctive Minho landscape surrounding it.
