O Produtor, tasting note published in June 15th 2024
It is a pale lemon coloured wine and in the nose it reveals the green apple and asparagus aromas provided by the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety with Atlantic influence, as well as the more tropical aromas of Alvarinho. In the mouth it reveals fresh and pleasant vegetal notes with a long mineral finish.
The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed, with subsequent decanting done gently. Sauvignon Blanc and Alvarinho ferment at low temperature in separate stainless steel vats, before blending. This practice allows obtaining a wine simultaneously aromatic, with the vegetable notes of Sauvignon Blanc, and with a mineral aftertaste, achieved through the structure of Alvarinho.
Contains sulphites.

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.
