Description
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.

wine and food pairings for quinta de soalheiro alvarinho
- Grilled sea bass with lemon and fresh dill – the acidity and minerality complement the delicate fish.
- Scallops in a creamy sauce with a hint of saffron – the tropical fruit and fresh acidity of the wine provide an elegant balance.
- Green asparagus salad, rocket and goat cheese – clarity and minerality support the fresh character.
- Risotto with Mushrooms and Parmesan – the delicate texture of the wine goes well with the umami and creaminess.
- Lamb cutlet with mint and pepper crust – surprising and refined, the citrus accents of the wine cut through the fat of the meat.
- Tagliatelle with lobster and parsley cream sauce – a luxurious combination in which the wine aroma with tropical fruit harmonises with the creamy shell fruit sauce.

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.

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.
