Tasting Notes
Technical Details
Vintage Description
Reviews

Bright pale yellow hue, Aveleda Solos de Granito has an exuberant aromatic profile where citrus fruits, green apples and mineral notes are abundant. The mouth has a strong mineral attack, followed by a crisp acidity and aromas of ripe grapefruit and green peaches. With a vigorous structure, this alvarinho varietal is concentrated, direct and straight to the point. Incredibly long finish.

Alvarinho grape blend.

The Estate

Pairs well with salmon with mango sauce, seafood curry, cheese platter with soft cheese, Greek salad with yogurt sauce, smoked trout, or shrimp salad.

Wine Enthusiast – 94 Points

While there is a strongly mineral texture, the wine also has a ripe, rounded edge that gives it weight. Creamy Alvarinho shines strongly, illuminating the wine's power. Drink from 2025.

James Suckling – 92 Points

Chalky nose with nectarines, wet stones, seashells and herbs. An attractive, medium- to full-bodied alvarinho that shows freshness and tangy flavors. Sleek, saline and lengthy finish. Vegan.
