Quinta de Soalheiro Terramatter 2022

€ 22.14

The Terramatter, or Mother Earth, is an exceptional Alvarinho wine, whose grapes were grown organically. Has a spicy taste of lemon balm, mint and ripe apples, a completely new taste pallet for this type of wine. Despite the moderate alcohol content, it offers a rich, intense taste

Food-Pairing

We suggest enjoying this wine with fatty fish, cooked shellfish, cured meats, lamb, turkey, roasted root vegetables, and anything in a cream sauce or with fungi. Its flavour and texture also pair perfectly with Asian or Mediterranean gastronomies. Also delicious with asparagus in butter sauce

Grapes: 100% Alvarinho

The Alvarinho, called Albariño in Spain, is a white grape variety. In the region of Vinho Verde, the grape is the most important, but also in Rias Baixas (Galicia) good wines are produced. The grape has a thick skin and a reasonable yield. The alcohol content of the wines is quite high. The wines have fruity aromas where apple usually has the upper hand.

The difference between Terramatter and the classical Soalheiro, mainly comes from the difference in vinification and the harvest time. The grapes for Terramatter are harvested earlier and the wine undergoes a partial malolactic fermentation on chestnut wood feeds. Ripens in stainless steel barrels and is bottled without filtering
