{"product_id":"2024-soalheiro-classic-alvarinho-vinho-verde","title":"2024 Soalheiro Classic Alvarinho","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoalheiro was the first to bottle Alvarinho in Melgaço, back in 1982, and the Cerdeira family has been the name to know in Portugal's far north ever since. Their Classic is the wine that shows why. It's the benchmark for Monção e Melgaço, the warmer, sunnier corner of Vinho Verde right on the Minho River, across from Galicia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForget the spritzy, cheap Vinho Verde you might've had on holiday. Granite soils and a bit of shelter from the Atlantic give this subregion riper, more serious, more textural Alvarinho. This is floral and bright on the nose, with citrus, white flowers and a green, almost leafy freshness. It's not thin or sharp, though, with real texture and a bit of density through the middle of the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerrific Alvarinho here from the producer that put Melgaço on the map, at an excellent price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points \u0026amp; Best in Show Trophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"it was gratifying to see this benchmark example cruise its way back into this year’s selection...
