      Tasting Notes and Description
      With pink salmon colour, fine and persistent bubbles. The aroma is elegant and delicate. The flavour is dry,crisp and persistent with remarkable lenghth and a beautiful complexity. Flavours evoked include strawberry, citrus and a gentle minerality.

      Serious enough to be savoured with some smoked salmon or light canapes.

      "One of the greatest producers in the region, Soalheiro consistently makes high quality wines that are just like great whites--there is no fizz here. They are dry, pointed, focused and age-worthy. Since they toil in Vinho Verde, they are also typically great values. The 2015 vintage, in particular, seems exceptional. The wines will last, too. There is no reason not to load up. "
      (Mark Squires, eRobertparker, com, April 2016)

      A portugese classic here at JN. This sparkling rosé is deliciously delicate and elegant with a pale salmon colour. The grapes, Touriga Nacional (red grape) and Alvarinho (white grape), used in the Soalheiro are produced in vineyards that promote a balance between sugars and acids perfect for making sparkling. They are sourced from several small vineyards planted in granite soil between 100 and 200 meters and located in a very particular microclimate. Melgaço region, the northern point of Portugal, is protected by a range of mountains that create the perfect conditions of rainfall, temperature and number of hours of sunshine required for a slow and balanced maturation for making sparkling with good quality. By pressing the grapes very gently they are able to extract a little colour and all the best most flavoursome juice for this sparkling wine.

      "Pinot Noir, Vinhão and Alvarinho.
      Unusual colour – barely rosé, more vin gris. A mix of subtle red fruits and citrus on the nose, but not very expressive in terms of fruit. More fruit on the palate, some sour cherry. Tastes dry if not quite bone dry on the finish but it's balanced. Drink to 2026.
      16.5 points."
