Every birth has a story and we don’t know when Soalheiro’s started. It was once the name of an agricultural plot, due to the generous sun exposure, where in 1974 was planted the first continuous Alvarinho vineyard in Melgaço. 40 years ago, more precisely on 20-3-82, the first Alvarinho brand in Melgaço was born, Soalheiro.

The Soalheiro 40 Years Special Edition celebrates the diversity of the Territory and the respect for the unique characteristics of each harvest: it is composed of two distinct harvests’ testimonies – 2015 L15, a cold year and 2018 L18, a warm year, and two blends proposed by us: 2015 L1518, composed essentially by the harvest of 2015 (cold), 15% of the harvest of 2018 (warm) and a winery secret, and 2018 L1815, in inverse proportions.

An oenological game that we suggest exploring in blind tastings and with your own combinations.

The labels of these four wines are a tribute to the original bottle, in a recreation that carries the name of the founder, João António Cerdeira.
