This is something that works perfectly with a Vinhos Verde and that is making beautiful wines, but with clearly less alcohol. This 9% is a new offspring of Quinta de Soalheiro. The wine undergoes fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel barrels. The maturation in stainless steel barrels gives the wine an excellent balance between sweet and sour. The Vinho Verde 9% Alvarinho has an aromatic nose with plenty of citrus fruit, something of yellow apple and white peach. The taste also offers tones of ripe white and yellow fruit, spring blossom and crisp acids. Beautiful balance between sour and sweet, with a second-long aftertaste. A delicious wine, low in alcohol and perfect on a terrace or as an accompaniment to a lemon tart with meringue and forest fruit ice cream.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Fris en aromatisch met levendige tonen van citrus, gele appel, witte perzik en lentebloesem, knisperende zuren en een verfijnde balans tussen zoet en zuur dankzij de roestvrijstalen gisting en lage alcohol (9%). Die frisse zuurgraad en fruitigheid snijden door de rijkdom van schelpdieren en gegrilde garnalen, laten salades met een pittige vinaigrette stralen en maken de wijn tot een perfect terras- of borrelgenoot. Vooral lichte bereidingen zoals ceviche of gegrilde zeebaars met citroen, bloemige salades met zachte geitenkaas of een citroentaartje met merengue en bosvruchtenijs komen extra goed uit met deze Soalheiro Alvarinho.

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.
