Soalheiro Germinar Loureiro Vinhas Velhas

On the way to the Sub-region of Monção and Melgaço is Valença and, just before entering this territory of Alvarinho's origin, we come across Monte do Faro. Two wine territories, Alvarinho and Loureiro, divided by a mountain that allows (to Loureiro) and closes (to Alvarinho) the Atlantic influence. The Soalheiro Germinar vineyard is over 30 years old and is located on a small plot that produces Loureiro grapes in small quantities, but with a very particular floral aroma, strong acidity and a concentration of mineral flavors different from the usual that make it very gastronomic.

The grapes are harvested by hand. After pressing, before fermentation, the must is clarified. Fermentation takes place in a stainless steel tank at a low temperature and in two egg-shaped tanks in the Innovation Cave, one made of stainless steel and the other made of cement, so that the final batch, due to the constant bâttonage in the fine lees, conveys complexity and persistence. taste superior to what we normally find in this variety.

Soalheiro Germinar is made with Loureiro grapes from a vineyard over 30 years old planted at the western foot of Monte do Faro in Valença on the left bank of the Minho river, a territory of choice for the Loureiro grape variety where the Atlantic influence is felt. the minerality of the wine and allowing the soft floral aromas of the variety to be revealed.

Bright lemon yellow color, elegant aroma marked by mineral and floral notes. Dry and fresh flavor, revealing the elegant side of the Loureiro grape variety, which always has a strong persistence of acidity.

Soalheiro Germinar is precise and elegant, combining perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine, fish and seafood, but also with Asian cuisine and ceviches.
