Soalheiro Allo Loureiro-Alvarinho

João António Cerdeira was the first to break from this tradition in Melgaço and planted a full parcel as a continuous vineyard of Alvarinho. Today the third generation family members continue to embrace this spirit of innovation.

The name “Allo” is a merge of Alvarinho and Loureiro’s initials, two noble grape varieties of the Minho Region in northern Portugal. Loureiro, representing the majority (70%) of the blend, provides floral notes. Alvarinho, on the other hand, is responsible for the wine’s structure. By combining the delicate nature of Loureiro with the confidence of Alvarinho, “Allo” is a wine that embodies both the fun and serious sides of our Minho’s territory.

Soalheiro Mineral Rosé Alvarinho-Pinot Noir

João António Cerdeira was the first to break from this tradition in Melgaço and planted a full parcel as a continuous vineyard of Alvarinho. Today the third generation family members continue to embrace this spirit of innovation.

Soalheiro Mineral Rosé comes from the desire to craft a rosé in the light, dry style of southern France. The wine owes its persistence to Pinot Noir and its elegance to Alvarinho. It 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.

Soalheiro Oppaco Alvarinho-Vinhão-Pinot Noir

João António Cerdeira was the first to break from this tradition in Melgaço and planted a full parcel as a continuous vineyard of Alvarinho. Today the third generation family members continue to embrace this spirit of innovation.

Oppaco is the first-ever red wine made by Soalheiro, marking a new chapter in history. The goal was to take an innovative approach to the region’s red wines. It started in 2013 as a blend of two regional grape varieties, red Vinhão (known as Sousão in Douro Region) and white Alvarinho. Today it includes Pinot Noir, as well, to achieve the perfect flavour balance. This combination allows the elegance of Alvarinho and the light, fruit-forward profile of Pinot Noir to tone down the rusticity of Vinhão, producing a delicate and elegant wine with an outstanding balance between tannins, alcohol, and acidity. It is named Oppaco, meaning ‘opaque’, to mark Soalheiro’s venture into the world of red wine.

Soalheiro Sauvignon-Alvarinho

João António Cerdeira was the first to break from this tradition in Melgaço and planted a full parcel as a continuous vineyard of Alvarinho. Today the third generation family members continue to embrace this spirit of innovation.

Soalheiro Sauvignon Blanc & Alvarinho is a result of the dedication to the region’s enormous potential. This resulted in a Sauvignon Blanc unique to the region, different from its expressions in France and New Zealand. Its excellent adaptation to the Minho terroir makes the varietal a reliable partner of Alvarinho in this blend. Its expressive bouquet perfectly complements Alvarinho’s roundness on the palate.
