Soalheiro Dócil 9% Alvarinho 2022 Vinho Verde Branco 75cl

The Alvarinho grapes come from several small vineyards planted in granitic soil between 100 and 200 meters of altitude. Melgaço, the northernmost region of Portugal, is protected by a set of mountains that allow a perfect marriage between rainfall, temperature and the number of hours of sunshine necessary for the best maturation of the Alvarinho grapes.

The Alvarinho grapes without late harvest were harvested in small-capacity boxes and transported to the cellar in a short period of time. The must obtained by pressing the whole grapes was decanted and fermented at low temperature. Fermentation took place in stainless steel until reaching the desired balance of sweetness and acidity, which dictated the final alcohol of this Soalheiro – 9%.
