Description
Alvarinho from Portugal's Vinho Verde region carries a distinctive mineral character, and Soalheiro's 2024 Granit edition captures that regional signature with precision. The wine comes from granitic soils in the northern reaches of Minho, where the Atlantic influence and cool growing season push the grape toward bright acidity and a crisp, lean profile. This is a young vintage meant to be enjoyed fresh, with the coastal minerality that defines the best examples of the varietal.

Expert Reviews
The Alvarinho 2024 Granit comes from higher-altitude vines at around 400 meters above sea level. This results in the wine having more salinity and verticality because of the altitude and the granite soils (it wears the subtitle “Mineral Selection”). It fermented at a slightly higher temperature, avoiding the excessive aromatic intensity of the grape and giving a more austere profile, without malolactic, unoaked and with bâtonnage of three months to provide good integration of the acidity. This is usually among my favorite wines in the portfolio, and it is serious, elegant and sharp/mineral. It has moderate ripeness and 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.16 and 6.5 grams of acidity and is very tasty and with aging potential. And it's very nicely priced too. 60,000 bottles, 500 magnums and 100 double magnums produced. It was bottled in March 2025. (Wine Advocate, April 2026)
