Vinho Verde Granit 2025, Soalheiro White

Vinho Verde Granit 2025, Soalheiro WhiteThis is Avarinho grown at altitude on soils with a high proportion of granite. It leads with its savoury, stoney character, precise and pure, with the fruit jogging along behind. Such intensity, precision, we flippin' love this.
