It will start with a visit to the Herbal Tea Fields where you will learn more about our territory before Alvarinho, about our infusions, a tradition we are rediscovering. Then we will visit the first continuous vineyard of Alvarinho in Melgaço, the old family garage where Soalheiro started, our cellar, where you will learn about the various winemaking processes to amplify the diversity the territory provides us with, and the Innovation Cellar, where we push this philosophy to the limit.
We will then go up to the terrace, where, with a privileged view over River Minho’s valley, you can clearly understand what makes our territory unique, and we will then start the tasting.
We will start with Soalheiro Clássico, an Alvarinho from Monção and Melgaço’s valley; then Primeiras Vinhas, an example of the various micro terroirs we can find within our territory, in this case linked to old vines; Granit that represents an experiment with planting Alvarinho in high altitude vineyards with granite soils and features a mineral expression of the varietal; our Espumante Bruto Alvarinho, the first sparkling wine made from Alvarinho following the traditional method. These are wines with distinct fruity or mineral profiles, all representing important moments in our story.
You will also have the opportunity to taste The Pur Terroir herbal teas, which reflects the potential of our territory thanks to an innovative process of dehydration at low temperatures, allowing to maintain a high concentration of essential oils: extremely volatile compounds, which provide the infusions with the aroma, taste and properties of each kind. The final selection is carried out carefully, ensuring that all our infusions, both concerning loose leaf and bagged, have more than 90% leaf.
