Quinta Soalheiro Alvarinho 2022, 150cl

Soalheiro Alvarinho has a bright, lemon-yellow colour. This wine is distinguished by its fresh and elegant fragrance, revealing the aromatic complexity of Alvarinho variety. The flavour has intense tropical and mineral notes that balance perfectly with the acidity and moderate alcohol content. Soalheiro Alvarinho has the elegance to make an excellent apéritif and complement lighter flavoured dishes. It pairs well with foods such as seafood, grilled fish, white meats, mature cheeses, smoked meats or Asian and Mediterranean gastronomies. Monção and Melgaço, the most northern region of Portugal, is protected by mountains that form a unique microclimate. This allows a perfect marriage between rainfall, temperature and the number of hours of sunshine needed for the best maturation of Alvarinho grapes. The microclimate in Monção and Melgaço is especially important during ripening, when hot days alternate with cold nights, enabling the development of fresh and fruity aromas and an acidity that is present, but moderate.
