This has aromas of peaches, apricots, mango stones and salted lemons. Fruity and fresh, with a medium body, creamy texture and refreshing finish. From old vines of alvarinho.

The Alvarinho is matured on stainless steel on its own lees. The wine is very dry, expressive and fresh in a beautiful way. Try it yourself, but the wine has various personalities. It is fresh and dry in the attack, but after a while the wine becomes powerful and concentrated. This is unique for a wine in this price range. The specialists at Parker are also not sure and really do not know which drinking window to adhere to (until 2030+) but we keep it in the middle. This Portuguese wine has a wonderful fresh scent of minerals, citrus fruits and something of tropical fruit. Intense and aromatic taste, excellent balance, oily structure, ripe fruit tones, minerals, fine acids, lots of length and beautifully pure. A nice price and quality go hand in hand.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2024 Soalheiro Alvarinho Vinho Verde is een prachtige Portugese wijn die zich onderscheidt door zijn frisse en mineralige karakter, aangevuld met aroma's van citrusvruchten en tropisch fruit. De wijn heeft een droge, expressieve smaak met een mooie balans tussen rijpe fruittonen en fijne zuren, waardoor hij zowel krachtig als elegant overkomt. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij lichte gerechten zoals gegrilde zeebaars met citroen en verse dille, waar de frisse zuren de delicate vis perfectly aanvullen, of bij coquilles in romige saffraansaus die door de fruitige en mineralige tonen een mooi evenwicht vinden. Ook bij groene asperges met geitenkaas of risotto met paddenstoelen en Parmezaan komt de verfijnde structuur van de wijn tot zijn recht, vooral wanneer de gerechten kort gegrild of licht bereid worden om de frisse en fruitige aspecten te benadrukken. De citrusaccenten en mineraliteit zorgen er bovendien voor dat de wijn een onverwachte frisheid biedt die verrassend goed samengaat met zowel zeevruchten als lichte vleesgerechten. |

The extremely young classical 2024 Alvarinho felt very reductive after the very recent bottling, and it remained difficult to read even after a couple of hours in the glass. This was the first wine produced by the family back in 1982, a varietal with floral aromas and good ripeness and freshness, noted by 12.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.17 coupled with 6.4 grams of acidity. Here, they don't do skin contact or malolactic, as they're trying to keep the purity and freshness, and they ferment it with neutral yeasts and keep it unoaked with lees for at least two months. All their wines have the dry granite finish, even the entry-level ones. 385,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2025. In my experience, this wine is much better with a little time in bottle. I'd wait at least until next year to pull the cork.
Luis Cerdeira has left Soalheiro to start a new project with his son, but Soalheiro remains in the hands of his sister Maria João, who produces 900,000 bottles with the help of Spanish winemaker Asunción Carballo Gómez.
They have 95 hectares of vineyards ranging from 50 to five years of age, including an experimental vineyard at 1,100 meters in altitude! They also source grapes from growers, close to 80 hectares, to keep the consistency of their classical range and make experiments. They now have an Innovation Cellar, where they look for different profiles and try to take the Alvarinho grape variety to the limit. So, their range keeps growing...

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.
