Reserva

Quinta de Soalheiro was the first Alvarinho brand in Melgaço, and one of the first Portuguese producers of Alvarinho. The Monção e Melgaço sub-region is protected by a range of mountains that create the perfect conditions of rainfall, temperature and number of hours of sunshine needed to ripen the Alvarinho grapes. This very special microclimate led to plant the first Alvarinho vine in 1974 and to create, in 1982, Quinta de Soalheiro.

Grapes for this wine are cultivated organically, protecting the winegrowing eco-system, improving biodiversity and the environment sustainability. Both fermentation and aging take place in new and used French oak barrels. Lees-steering is carried out and the wine is left on its fine lees until the end of June. Elegant with oak aromas, and maintaining the freshness and fruit of the Alvarinho grape in a full bodied and complex wine.
