Soalheiro Alma 2025 Magnum
Region: Vinho Verde

This Portugal Collection Exclusive was assembled by us in the cellars of Soalheiro, under the watchful eye of Luis Cerdeira.When we shared with Luis our thirst for "maximum refreshment in a tight suit", he opened the door of his cellar and allowed us to start working with the available harvest of 2018. The result is this Alma, a blend of Alvarinho and Loureiro, of which we have bottled 2000 bottles.

Waar serveer je ’m bij?
We blended this cuvée ourselves, in the cellars of Soalheiro and under the eye of Luis Cerdeira: a Portugal Collection Exclusive with maximum refreshment as the brief. Alvarinho and Loureiro, all in steel until bottling, no oak. Alvarinho gives the core and the minerality, Loureiro the floral nose — and because nothing sits in between, you hear exactly those two. Thirteen degrees of alcohol gives just a little more body than you expect from a Vinho Verde.

Minder geschikt bij
Slow-braised meat and heavy gravy. It has a little more body than the entry-level wines, but it remains a wine that works on freshness and not on weight.
