Soalheiro Granit Alvarinho

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 12.5%
Total acidity 6.1 g/l
pH 3.31

APPEARANCE
Bright, lemon-yellow colour.

NOSE
Granit exhibiting elegant aromas with more mineral notes.

PALATE
The taste is crisp, dry, and persistent, with more earthy and stony flavours. There is a sensation of saltiness, reflecting the impact of the granite soils on Alvarinho.

AGEING
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a higher temperature than is usual for white wine (22°C). Bâtonnage and ageing on the fine lees improve the structure.

PAIRING
With mineral flavours and bracing acidity, Soalheiro Granit especially complements Mediterranean cuisine such as seafood, grilled fish, or oven-baked fatty fish. It also pairs well with white and smoked meats, mature cheeses, or delicate Asian dishes such as sushi or dumplings.
