Description

91 points - Robert Parker

Serve with: light meat, light fish, salads, poultry (grilled), lamb, mature cheeses, risotto

Tasting notes: lots of minerality and fruit in the aroma and a complex flavor picture with mouth-watering acidity, but also a soft and round texture from the complete malolactic fermentation. The aftertaste is long and intense.

Soalheiro Nature is Soalheiro's first Alvarinho produced without the addition of sulfites. The organic Alvarinho grapes are truly taken to their limits to create an intense but honest expression of the variety. This wine reflects the “Pur Terroir” of Monção and Melgaço - the northernmost point of Portugal where Alvarinho comes from. After three years of experimentation, this wine was developed and it also forms the basis of Soalheiro Espumante Bruto Nature. It is advantageous to decant the wine first to allow the berries to settle.

A unique microclimate influences the growth of these Alvarinho grapes. The Monção and Melgaço region is protected by mountains, which create perfect rainfall, temperature and sunshine conditions for the best ripening of Alvarinho. The soil is rich in granite and the vineyards are all certified organic, facilitating the production of a sulfite-free wine. The grapes are grown using methods that support biodiversity and the ecosystem, promoting environmental sustainability.

The Alvarinho grapes are hand-harvested from the Soalheiro vineyards. The wine is fermented in stainless steel without the addition of sulfites, and after alcoholic fermentation it undergoes a complete malolactic fermentation. This ensures the stability of the wine. The wine is bottled unfiltered and leaves some sediment. This deposit plays an essential role in protecting the wine from oxidation and allowing it to age gently.
