Soalheiro Allo
£15.95
This is a lighter and more everyday style of wine than most of their range. Very juicy, very fresh, and the Loureiro adds a little floral elegance to the Alvarinho’s fruit.
Perfect for a sunny day, and very food friendly.
Quinta dos Roques Tinto
£17.95
The leading (small) estate in the Dao revolution. At around 450m, Quinta dos Roques lies in the Dao heartland, just outside Abrunhosa do Mato.
Luis and Luisa Lourenco lead this family estate, producing a wide array of meticulously assembled wines, where both traditional blending, and varietal offerings both excel. The Touriga Nacional here is often cited as Portugal’s finest, while Quinta dos Roques Encruzado is regularly rated as one of the country’s leading dry white wines.
Here we have the classic red from this prestigious Dao estate. Touriga makes up about half the blend, with other varietals also from block-planted vineyards at the property. Aged in French oak for 10 months. That Touriga component contributes the mulberry fruit character which characterises Roques Tinto, but as with classic Dao blends, this is more than a sum of its parts.
Soalheiro Alvarinho Vinho Verde
£21.00
Monção and Melgaço, the most northern region of Portugal, is protected by mountains that form a unique microclimate. This is a simply outstanding Alvarinho. Fresh tropical fruits and mineral notes on the palate that balance the acidity. Having shellfish, look no further!
Saroto Tinto
£23.00
Saroto Tinto is made from a small, old, field-blend parcel comprised of old-fashioned red and white Douro varieties. The resultant wine is full of wild forest fruit, lots of berries with a kick of natural sourness. Plenty of fresh acidity adds juiciness and balances the rustic, grippy tannins, making for quite a light red. Earthy minerality adds extra complexity and the finish is long and moreish.
Saroto Branco
£23.00
Arribas Wine Company was founded in 2017, in Bemposta, Mogadouro. They produce authentic wines, based on regional varieties, old vineyards and traditional techniques. They farm their vineyards as sustainably and respectfully as possible, and make wines in a minimalistic way.
This old-vine field blend contains Verdelho, Malvasia, Posto Branco, and Bastardo Branco, amongst others. Barrel fermented for 7 months and with very hands-off winemaking.
A rich and textural wine full of complexity and nuance. Natural acidity keeps the balance through the palate. A very gastronomic white and absolutely delicious.
Soalheiro Mineral Rose
£23.00
Soalheiro Mineral Rosé comes from a desire to craft a rosé in the light, dry style of southern France. This style is not common in Minho, and with this wine they hope to show the versatility of their Terroir. The wine owes its persistence to Pinot Noir and its elegance to Alvarinho. Soalheiro Mineral Rosé boasts minerality and a moderate alcohol content, without the intense sweetness often associated with rosés. It is the perfect companion for any occasion- by itself, at the bar, before and after a meal, or paired with the main course.
Quinta dos Roques Encruzado
£24.00
Quinta Dos Roques is a small family producer in the Dão Region, focused on working the family vineyards with traditional grape varieties. For over a century wines were made as as part of a co-operative predominantly for household consumption, it is now a project designed to produce high quality Dão wines.
Its fair to say that Quinta dos Roques single-handedly revived the reputation of the Dao’s finest white varietal, and still enjoys the reputation as the finest exponent of Encruzado. Increasingly, Luis Lourenco prefers to keep the oak element in the background, and let the grape’s citrussy profile express itself as much as possible. Quinta dos Roques Encruzado is regularly rated as one of the country’s leading dry white wines. Perfect with seafood or spicy dishes.
Duckman Baga
£24.00
A blend of several vintages, this wine shows Duckman’s link to the greatness of Bairrada’s Baga grape. The heritage of Joao Pato can be seen in this more classic style of baga, with dark cherry and berry fruit, pine resin spice, and a good smack of acidity.
Soalheiro Espumante
£25.95
The Alvarinho grapes for this wine come from several small vineyards planted in granite soil, at high altitudes. This altitude maintains the freshness and aromatics in the wine.
Soalheiro’s vines are organically grown and environmental sustainability is at the heart of everything they do. We have been selling the wines of Soalheiro since the day we opened and they continue to amaze us every time we taste them. This sparkling Alvarinho is fruity, fresh and minerally with the perfect balance between acidity and alcohol.
