Aveleda Solos de Granito 2022 75cl
£17.00
One of a fascinating pair of Alvarinho wines from Vinho Verde Solos de Granito comes from vines grown on granite bedrock While Alvarinho's innate peachy character is in evidence, there are more pronounced herbal characteristics On the palate, it is extremely pure, with long flavours, although it is leaner and lighter in texture than Solos de Xisto Granite is both paler in colour and more resistant to weathering than schist These attributes mean that it is not warmed as much by the sun's heat, and vines grown over it cannot develop such deep root systems, and so can experience more water stress during dry periods This does not generally cause problems in the Vinho Verde region, due to the significant rainfall that it receives throughout the growing season
Aveleda Solos de Xisto 2022 75cl
£17.00
One of a fascinating pair of Alvarinho wines from Vinho Verde This is from vines grown exclusively on vineyards over schist (xisto) bedrock While true to Vinho Verde's overall fresh style, this is relatively rich-textured, complex and nuanced It has succulent flavours of ripe peach and apricot, with the tang of sherbet lemon Schist is a metamorphic rock that fractures easily, allowing the vine roots to penetrate deep into the ground, ensuring a steady supply of water Its dark colour means it absorbs the sun's heat and re-radiates it at night, giving a 'double-ripening' effect
