Quinta Soalheiro Granit Alvarinho 12.5% abv 75cl

Bright, lemon-yellow colour, exhibiting elegant aromas with more mineral notes.
The taste is crisp, dry, and persistent, with more earthy and stony flavours. There is a sensation of saltiness on the palate, reflecting the impact of the granite soils on Alvarinho.

With its mineral flavours and bracing acidity, Soalheiro Granit especially complements Mediterranean cuisine such as seafood, grilled fish, or oven-baked fatty fish. It also pairs well with white and smoked meats, mature cheeses, or delicate Asian dishes such as sushi or dumplings.

Soalheiro Granit reveals a more mineral profile of the Alvarinho grape. It’s an Alvarinho that comes from a specific selection of vineyards planted vineyards above 300 meters altitude, revealing the minerality that relates the soil of granite origin of the terroir “Moncao and Melgaco” and Alvarinho, improved with the batonage and aging on the fine lees. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a higher temperature than usual in white wine, showing an elegant and more mineral aroma with a dry and persistent flavour.
