O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2022
Primeiras Vinhas has a lemon yellow colour with hints of golden yellow and a bright appearance. It reveals aromas of ripe fruit and hints of spices. In the mouth it presents the flavour of these fresh fruits well combined with its slightly buttery profile. Full body and balanced with a lively acidity that results from the perfect maturation of Alvarinho. Long finish and very good ageing capacity in bottle.
The grapes are harvested by hand from old vines in our Territory. Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel, with 15% of the total volume fermented in used oak barrels, thus giving the wine greater complexity. According to the winemaker, “the philosophy is to keep the wine in contact with the lees through bâtonnage, giving it greater structure and a different character to most other wines from the Vinho Verde region”. The wine ages for 6 months before bottling.

Quinta de Soalheiro
oalheiro is the first Alvarinho brand in the northern point of Portugal named Melgaço and one of the first Portuguese producers of Alvarinho. Here the Alvarinho is special, the land is protected by a range of mountains that create conditions of rainfall, temperature and sunshine hours necessary for the best ripening of the grapes. We hope you too will love its vibrant and elegant expression, something we’ve been passionate.
