Quinta da Aveleda
A wine house from Portugal’s green north-west, the land of Vinho Verde. They make our schist-grown Alvarinho.
Quinta da Aveleda comes from Portugal’s north-west, the Vinho Verde region. Their Solos de Xisto is an Alvarinho from schist soils — which is where the name comes from.
The grapes are hand-picked, strictly selected and transported chilled. After fermentation in stainless steel the wine spends nine months on its lees and another nine in bottle. The result is an Alvarinho that is creamy yet stays fresh and mineral.
