Fantabulously lemon meringue confection but not sweet like the person who gives you the compliment you waited your life to hear and it came out in a natural way in a sophisticated atmosphere so you trust it is true. Soalheiro is truth

Holy shit. Natural. NO SULFITES. Unfiltered. Tastes like homemade lemonade, fresh honey and orange blossom. Acidity is something special here with crazy texture. Cloudy as hell, but tastes clean and refreshing like fresh squeezed juice. Good body and just pleasantly bitter like the citrus pith. Not far off from Sicilian skin fermented muscat to be honest. 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

This is not the Soalheiro Reserve. It is the Soalheiro Nature Pur Terroir, 1st 100% biological wine from the property. Still not on Delectable.

My 2nd favourite wine is not filtered and 100% biological. There are no artificial stuff here and it is all about a great vineyard management.

Let's describe this Nature's great gift.

Great acidity as common on the Alvarinho grape, full bodied and long finish (you can taste in for a good while).

Let's get into the beauty of the aromas and flavours this one gives us. Amazing herbaceous 1st kick with green bell pepper and grass, followed by a great apple and pear (green fruits). After that, thanks to be unfiltered and be in contact with lees until you have the luck to swallow it, you'll have an amazing biscuit, bread mouth coating, with a buttery feeling thanks to the Malolactic fermentation (also known as malolactic conversion or MLF, is a process in winemaking in which tart-tasting malic acid, naturally present in grape must, is converted to softer-tasting lactic acid).

Great work on the field and great 1st Biological wine from this property. I can't wait to taste next year's!

Hopefully it'll have some great stone and tropical fruits to make it even more amazing.

Kudos to their team.
