Aveleda Solos de Granito Alvarinho 2022

Explore the geologic richness of the Vinho Verde terroir. In a wine region where granite covers 90% of the surface, this range explores the rare varieties of schist that exist and how the different terroirs translate into very distinctive wines. This wine is a 100% Alvarinho, that is exclusively planted on granite soil, with its counterpart Aveleda Solos de Xisto planted on schist soil.

Tasting Notes

Bright pale yellow hue, Aveleda Solos de Granito has an exuberant aromatic profile where citrus fruits, green apples and mineral notes are abundant. The mouth has a strong mineral attack, followed by a crisp acidity and aromas of ripe grapefruit and green peaches. 

Food Pairing
