Sunny Turnover 2022

Soalheiro Revirado 2022 is an unconventional Alvarinho that challenges and rewards in equal measure. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards on the mountainous slopes of northern Portugal, this wine is born from a unique terroir and expresses its entire identity through an irreverent vinification process, including fermentation and ageing on fine lees in spin barrels.

On the nose, the first impression may surprise: a restrained aroma, with notes of burnt matches and a well-marked reduction, which invites patience and discovery. With time in the glass, the wine opens up subtly, revealing mineral and smoky nuances and delicate hints of white fruit.

In the mouth, Revirado is tense and vibrant, with a striking salinity that conveys the freshness of the high-altitude vineyards. The texture is enveloping, creamy but firm, supported by precise acidity and layers of complexity that come from aging in barrels. It is a wine that seems strange at first sip, but reveals its depth and originality as you explore it.

An Alvarinho for those looking for more than the classic expression of the grape variety — a mountain wine, with nerve, soul and an indomitable character. Ideal to accompany sophisticated seafood dishes, which enhance its minerality and structure.
