2019 Quinta do Soalheiro Terramatter (Minho)

Full bottle 1,166 g. Certified organic. Hand-harvested (early) from the Quinta de Soalheiro vineyards. Partial malo in chestnut barrels. Vegan-friendly. Unfiltered. TA 5.7 g/l, pH 3.47. Very, very slightly cloudy. Peachy, ripe, sun-infused Alvarinho and deep citrus meet stony-terroir impression. Sour-fresh, with a chalky dry intensity. Pure, dry, with a fine, chewy grainy texture. Long, mouth-watering, pure. Brighter and fresher, more fruit-forward than the Natur Pur Terroir but still layered and deliciously textured. Long, sour-fresh aftertaste. 17 points
