Quinta de Soalheiro is located in Melgaco, the northermost part Portgual’s Vinho Verde wine region. Established in 1974 by Joao Antonio Cerdeira, it is now on the third generation of winemakers, making wines using the Alvarinho grape. The house is also famous for producting the first sparking Alvarinho in 1995.
It’s been 7 years since we got any wines from Soalheiro, during which time we’ve had to go to Lisbon to enjoy a glass or two. So, we’re very happy for its return of these award winning whites (produced from 14 hectares of organically farmed vineyard) to the Alberta market. again, this time with its 2023 vintage. As usual, extremely limited availability and will be sold out in a jiff.
