The Alvarinho "Granit" is a beautiful Portuguese dry top wine. It is an Albarino (Alvarinho) wine that comes from specifically selected vineyards located at an altitude of 150+ meters on a terroir of granite origin, in which the minerality is very decisive and this also explains the name of the wine. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. This Alvarinho clearly stands out, which is mainly due to the higher vineyards, the higher fermentation temperature and the longer contact with the lees. The wine is very elegant with clear mineral aromas with a dry and persistent taste. The purity of fruit is very special. The wine is still youthful but can certainly be drunk already, but can easily remain in the cellar until 2030+. Great value for money and not 'average'

Quinta de Soalheiro is located in the northernmost point of Portugal, in the sub-region of the Vinho Verde area, called Monção e Melgaço. Protected by a mountain range in the north, the vineyards are ideally located for growing the Alvarinho grape, with just enough of everything: sun, heat and rainfall. It was these unique circumstances that led João Antonio Cerdeira to plant his first alvarinho vineyard here in 1974. João has since been succeeded by his children Luis and Maria, who have further developed and perfected the company. Everything is done here with a great sense of detail. The vineyards are cultivated organically and the winemaking process has only one purpose: to make pure and harmonious wines. Soalheiro has a great reputation both in Portugal itself and abroad.
