Soalheiro Granit White Alvarinho Vinho Verde DOC 2023

A Minerally Elegant Expression of Alvarinho
The Soalheiro Granit White Alvarinho Vinho Verde DOC 2023 is a distinctive, mineral-driven white wine from the renowned Monção and Melgaço sub-region in northern Portugal. Bearing the name "Granit," this wine is crafted from Alvarinho grapes grown in the granite-rich soils of the region. The elevated vineyard sites at around 400 meters in altitude contribute to the wine's crisp acidity and earthy mineral character, offering a unique and sophisticated interpretation of Alvarinho.

Grape Variety

The wine is made exclusively from Alvarinho, a grape variety known for its bright acidity and complex fruit character. The high-altitude vineyards in granitic soil contribute to a wine that emphasizes minerality over fruitiness, showcasing the region's terroir.

Winemaking & Aging

Hand-harvested from small vineyards planted in granite soils, the grapes undergo careful pressing and clarification before fermentation. The fermentation process takes place in stainless steel vats at a slightly elevated temperature of 22°C, ensuring that the fruit character does not overpower the wine's mineral qualities. The wine is aged on its lees with bâtonnage to enhance its structure before being bottled for release.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright, lemon-yellow with a clear and clean look.
Aromas: Elegant, mineral-driven notes with subtle hints of citrus and earthiness.
Palate: Crisp, dry, and persistent, with a sensation of saltiness that reflects the granite soils. The wine’s bright acidity and stony flavors deliver a refined and sophisticated drinking experience.

Food Pairing Suggestions

With its vibrant acidity and mineral complexity, Soalheiro Granit is the perfect match for Mediterranean dishes, including seafood, grilled fish, or oven-baked fatty fish. It also pairs wonderfully with white meats, smoked meats, mature cheeses, and delicate Asian dishes such as sushi or dumplings.
