2024 Aveleda "Solos de Granito" Branco, Vinho Verde, Minho, Portugal
ABOUT THIS WINE
In Aveleda Solos de Granito, the grape variety Alvarinho shows precision and tension, shaped by the nature of this soil. Poor and highly draining, granite forces the vine to work harder. From that restraint comes a more focused wine, where minerality and acidity stand out clearly. Night harvesting preserves grape integrity, while stainless steel fermentation maintains aromatic precision and varietal purity. Firm and elegant, it reflects the character of granite in the Vinho Verde Region.
Â
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The wine project started at Quinta da Aveleda, in the 100 hectares that surround the manor house and its buildings. Looking towards the future, here the vineyards were already planted as the main crop. The demand for quality was high and the viticulture followed the French style, decades before the region even had a regulatory authority for its cultivation. Today, 150 years and 5 generations later, the vineyards of Aveleda are spread throughout the Vinho Verde region, making the most of the multiple wine-growing possibilities it offers.
The Aveleda wines are an unquestionable symbol of quality, consistency and reflect a very close relationship with the vineyard. Through high-density planting, with lower production per plant and better leaf exposure, we ensure higher quality grapes and a longer life for our vines. Through green coverings, border planting and techniques such as mulching, we minimize the need to intervene and treat, respecting the natural cycle of the plants and their interactions.
Aveleda wines result from the dedication to the land and a detailed work, which begins in the vineyard and gains full expression in the winery. A work deeply linked to origins and values transmitted by the Guedes family, based on thoroughness and continuous improvement. Aveleda wines are a symbol of continuity, dedication and quality. And this quality is now reflected in a vast portfolio, which extends to the premium segment. These are wines that convey the terroir and typicity of the Vinho Verde region.
