TASTING NOTE: 

The oldest Alvarinho vines at Soalheiro go to make one of Portugal’s very best white wines, and certainly one of the most wonderful expressions of this variety. If you thought that Alvarinho was foremost about primary fruit character, this comes as a bit of a shock. Seriously structured, with mineral notes quite equal to the pure stone fruit elements, this is brilliant stuff!
