Soalheiro Ag.hora Alvarinho shows a rather high taste persistence when compared to a red wine. This wine has a gold-yellow colour. The aroma is different because of the skin contact and the flavour elegant with tannins on the palate.

The Alvarinho grapes are influenced by a unique microclimate, receiving the perfect rainfall, temperature, and sunshine conditions. This is thanks to a range of mountains that protects Monção and Melgaço from the Atlantic influence. The soils are granite, and the grapes are grown using practices that support biodiversity and the viticultural ecosystem, promoting environmental sustainability.

The vinification is inspired by a Georgian style of winemaking. Alvarinho grapes are hand-harvested, partially destemmed and gently foot-treaded. The wine is wild-fermented in Terracotta followed by a period of around three months of skin maceration before it is carefully pressed in a vertical press. After pressing, the wine returned to the Terracotta, already without the skins, to age for at least 4 months.
