Soalheiro Alvarinho 2024
To celebrate the release of Olly’s new book, here’s a stunning Portuguese wine that features in my ‘Top 30 Wines To Try Before You Die’.
Soalheiro Alvarinho 2024 is electrifying with a sense of dazzling zing alongside tantalising tropical zeal. Zesty and pure with irresistible freshness it’s a world class apéritif and an excellent white to pair with ocean dishes such as shellfish, sardines, sushi and sashimi.
The first Alvarinho vines for this wine were planted in 1974 by João António Cerdeira and his parents (the same year Olly was born) and with Soalheiro meaning ‘sunny’ it feels an appropriately dazzling bottle to splash out with and celebrate the launch of WINE.
