Soalheiro Alvarinho 2025 Magnum
Region: Vinho Verde
Producer: Soalheiro
Soalheiro produces great Alvarinho every year, delivering a nice richness underpinned by wonderful freshness resulting in a very complex wine. Irresistible when young but all the more fascinating after 5 to 10 years in bottle.The hot days and cold nights keep the grapes fresh and fruity with a present but moderate acidity.
It is an intense, elegant wine with volume. A classic of the Soalheiro range. The Alvarinho brings an aromatic freshness with mineral notes.

Waar serveer je ’m bij?
The classic Alvarinho from the house that made the grape's name in Melgaço: richness and freshness in one glass, and more complex than the price suggests. All in steel, so nothing that masks the grape — peach, mandarin peel, a salty minerality. The thing you need to know: it is hard to resist in its youth, but after some five years in bottle it becomes considerably better, with a waxy, broader mouth. So if you buy two, best drink one now and put the other away.

Roasted red meat and thickened butter sauces: it cannot hold its own against those. Spicy food does work, because twelve and a half per cent stays low enough.
