Aroma of citrus and tropical fruit, with oak nuances standing out with the glass swirl. In the palate, the aromas of tropical fruit are more evident (mango and pineapple), together with more specific aromas of honeysuckle and ripe grapefruit. An extremely balanced wine with excellent acidity and an amazing balance between minerality and fruit. A very delicate and smooth wine, with a good mouth’ middle and a long finish where it stands out the ageing in oak barrels.

Aveleda Parcela do Roseiral originates of a very special Alvarinho parcel: the base is granite, but the top layer of the soil is composed of humus, thus extremely fertile. The vineyard is west facing and rich in water. Behind the family house at Aveleda, there was a rose garden. In this little patch of heaven, at Parcela do Roseiral, now grows a harmonious and elegant Alvarinho that, vintage after vintage, surprises by its consistent balance. With the same gentle touch spared to the roses, the harvest is done by hand, and is saved for the end of the season. A true family treasure kept by the ancient traditions
