The Douro Valley is the most recognized region in Portugal, known for its high-quality wines. This Douro red reveals aromas of black fruits with subtle floral and smoky notes. Harmonious flavours flow through the palate, with elegant tannins adding complexity to the wine. Pair with aged cheeses, paella or vegetable dishes.

Aveleda Solos de Xisto is produced with hand-harvested Alvarinho grapes grown in schist soils. The bouquet is elegant, with subtle ripe citrus, tropical fruit and jasmine aromas. The palate highlights pineapple, mango, orange and grapefruit notes with a balanced mouthfeel and persistent finish.

While there is a strongly mineral texture, the wine also has a ripe, rounded edge that gives it weight. Creamy Alvarinho shines strongly, illuminating the wine's power. Drink from 2025 [and into early 2030s]. Score - 94. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, March 2, 2024)
