Soalheiro Granit Branco 2024

12.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Mineral, precise, and elegant, with subtle fruit notes and vibrant acidity, showcasing a distinctive expression of a mountain-grown Alvarinho. Sourced from small plots on granite soils at around 400 meters in Monção and Melgaço, it stands out for its freshness and tension, where minerality dominates over the more fruit-forward profile of the grape.

Alvarinho grapes from selected vineyards on granite soils, at approximately 400 meters altitude, in the Monção and Melgaço sub-region. The altitude and low soil fertility encourage slow ripening, higher acidity, and a pronounced mineral expression. Hand-harvested. Grapes are pressed and the must clarified before fermentation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures (~22°C), followed by aging on fine lees with bâtonnage, providing structure and complexity.

The Soalheiro vineyards were established in 1974, not far from Megaco (in Alvaredo in fact), Portugal's most northerly town, and overlooking the Minho River. Since then, this very special terroir has allowed Soalheiro to forge its reputation as one of the top estates in Portugal. Luis Cerdeira, whose grandfather established the estate, now makes these benchmark wines regarded by many as the epitome of the Alvarinho variety in Portugal . Vineyards are between 100m and 200m, planted on granite, above the Minho. Cultivation is organic, though not registered.
