Profile & Story
Aveleda's Solos de Granito is part of a series exploring how different soils shape the estate's Alvarinho from the Vinho Verde region's Minho subregion. Grown on granite -- an igneous rock naturally poor in nutrients -- the vines are forced to work harder, yielding a more focused, mineral-driven wine. Grapes are night-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Recommended serving temperature 50-54°F; the wine is best enjoyed within about 10 years of bottling.
Tasting Notes
Pale lemon-yellow with golden highlights. Aromas of citrus and white flowers with a subtle minerality reminiscent of warm stone. Fresh and enveloping on the palate, with balanced acidity, notes of mango and orange, and an earthy finish that reflects the granite soil.
Pairing Recommendation
Recommended with fish, chicken, and light vegetarian dishes, where the wine's freshness enhances textural nuances.
