Soalheiro Terramatter 2022
Region: Vinho Verde
Producer: Soalheiro
Soalheiro Terramatter is entirely different from other wines in the Soalheiro family. It is both a return to our natural origins and a look into the future. Produced with the least possible intervention in the vineyards and vinification, Terramatter is an original expression of our land. Intense in colour, aromatically expressive, and complex on the palate, it maintains a marked personality and distinctive profile. The wine’s partial malolactic fermentation in chestnut barrels and early harvest are fundamental factors determining its personality. We recommend smoothly shaking the bottle before drinking to homogenise the fine lees on the bottom for an entirely different drinking experience!| Volume | 75.0 cl. |

Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Three times the same juice, three times a different vessel: a third ferments and ages in steel, a third in chestnut wood, a third in a concrete egg. Chestnut is not an ordinary barrel — it gives less tannin and a different, nuttier tone than oak — and that egg keeps the wine moving without adding anything to it. Together they give an Alvarinho that changes from layer to layer while you drink it: complexity ten against a weight of six, which occurs almost nowhere in our entire white range.

Minder geschikt bij
Simple, lightly spiced nibbles: they do not draw out of this bottle what is in it. And do not pour it too cold, because then only one of the three layers is left.
