In Aveleda Solos de Xisto, Alvarinho gains breadth and depth, revealing a more textured profile.
Rarer in the Vinho Verde Region, schist soils allow for a slower, deeper, and more balanced ripening of Alvarinho.
Night harvesting preserves the integrity of the grapes. Stainless steel fermentation respects the purity of the variety and the Region’s natural freshness, revealing the depth of schist.
