Soalheiro Primeiras Vinhas Magnum Branco

The Alvarinho grapes, produced according to organic farming concepts where we protect the vineyard ecosystem by promoting biodiversity and environmental sustainability, are hand-harvested from the old vines over 40 years old at Quinta de Soalheiro, the Primeiras Vinhas. We now also include in the blend a selection of Alvarinho grapes planted on their own roots. The grapes, exclusively of the Alvarinho variety, are hand-picked in small crates and transported to the winery within a short time. After pressing, the must is left to settle for 48 hours, followed by fermentation at controlled temperature. Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel (about 15% of the total volume ferments in used oak barrels), with lees stirring until early May, when bottling occurs. In this harvest, we also include in the blend Alvarinho aged in large oak barrels. Citrine yellow color, elegant and full aroma that grows in the glass, becoming increasingly persistent. The flavor is full-bodied, fresh, and with great gustatory complexity. Contains sulfites.
