Tasting note
From vineyards planted over schist bedrock, Solos de Xisto evokes a fresh, dewy summer morning, with sunshiny notes of lemongrass, jasmine blossom and honeysuckle. It has beautiful purity on the palate, fresh and delicate texture and a superb, sustained, aromatic finish.
Viticulture
The precipitation in 2022 helped the vines recover from water stress leading to a great year for Vinho Verde - allowing for the best aromatic potential of the grapes. The wine is very aromatic and citrusy with an intrinsic minerality. Showing a fresh, persistent and gastronomic palette.
Vinification
The harvest is carefully selected and cooled by hand to maintain their aromatic integrity. A limited yield of 2kg per plant ensures a rich expression of the grape characteristics. Fermentation and extended maturation occur in stainless steel vats with bâtonnage and then in the bottle for further refinement and complexity.
Food Match
A crisp and aromatic Portuguese white wine that pairs well with Seafood, Light Salads, Grilled White Fish, Chicken Dishes, Vegetarian Dishes, Sushi and Sashimi and Light Pasta Dishes.
