Terroir

Soalheiro Germinar is made with Loureiro grapes from a vineyard that is over 30 years old, planted at the western foothills of Monte do Faro in Valença on the left bank of the river Minho, a territory of choice for the Loureiro variety where the Atlantic influence is felt marking the minerality of the wine and allowing the soft floral aromas of the variety to reveal themselves.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand. After pressing, before fermentation, the must is clarified. Fermentation takes place in a stainless steel vat at a low temperature and in two egg-shaped tanks in our Innovation Cave, one made of stainless steel and the other made of cement, so that the final batch, due to the constant bâttonage in the fine lees, conveys complexity and gustatory persistence superior to what we usually find in this variety.

Follow-up Suggestion

Soalheiro Germinar is precise and elegant, combining perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine, fish and seafood, but also with Asian cuisine and ceviches.
