Just Arrived - Soalheiro (Sunny)

Jun 04, 2026

Just in time for the weekend we have a pair of beautiful wines land from Portugal, Alvarinho from Vinho Verde.

Since 1974, when João António Cerdeira was a pioneer by planting the first continuous vineyard of Alvarinho in Melgaço, Soalheiro has been a symbol of dedication to excellence in viticulture in the region.

The vineyard, situated on a family plot with excellent sun exposure, inspired the name “Soalheiro,” symbolising the strong connection to the sun and the terroir that characterise its wines.

Still a family-owned company, the farming at Soalheiro is carried out with a strong commitment to sustainability and the increase of organic practices, reflecting a long-term vision for both the health of the vines and the preservation of regional identity.

Today, in the second generation, the family continues to honour this legacy, investing in innovation and the preservation of the territory’s vinicultural heritage.

Soalheiro’s product range reflects the diversity and quality of the local terroirs, showcasing various expressions of Alvarinho, from the classic, mineral, and citrus style that put the winery on the map, to single-vineyard bottles, sparkling wines, and more textured cuvées aged on lees.

We have just taken delivery of our 2 fav wines from this iconic grower, just in time for the sunny weekend!
