"Oppaco is the first-ever red wine made by Soalheiro, marking a new chapter in our history. The goal was to take an innovative approach to the region’s red wines. It started in 2013 as a blend of two regional grape varieties, red Vinhão (known as Sousão in Douro Region) and white Alvarinho. Today it includes Pinot Noir, as well, to achieve the perfect flavour balance. This combination allows the elegance of Alvarinho and the light, fruit-forward profile of Pinot Noir to tone down the rusticity of Vinhão, producing a delicate and elegant wine with an outstanding balance between tannins, alcohol, and acidity. We named this wine Oppaco, meaning ‘opaque’, to mark Soalheiro’s venture into the world of red wine."

"With the aim of demonstrating the ageing potential of wines made from the Baga grape variety, every year around 10% of Vadio's production is saved for a re-release of a 10-year edition. This wine was bottled at the same time as the original release and aged in the bottle in our cellar for a further 7 years.
Respecting the more classic style of the Bairrada region, this wine was made from the baga grape variety, fermented in small lagares, and aged for 18 months in used barrels. 15800 bottles were produced, and 1500 kept in the cellar for the re-release of this 10th anniversary edition."

"Enxertia is born out of the heterogeneity of our vines, since every year is different in edaphoclimatic conditions. Based on this definition, we decided to create a wine based on the best behavior of the grape variety during the wine year. Thus, we take the liberty to choose each year the grape variety that best reflects our philosophy – as is the case with Alfrocheiro."

Мариана Салвадор большая умничка. Молодая и всего лишь немногие годы в этой сфере но многие "прожектора" уже на неё направлены. Она успевает сделать вина другим компаниям, которые наняли её на работу как винодела и ещё и успевает сконцентрироваться на собственном проекте - REVELA.
Это вино - её первое красное (рекомендую сохранить пару бутылок для будущего и открыть в 2031)
Как сказал выжный винный критик, что посетил наш бар - прекрасная Бургундия в португальском стиле. Чтож, мы с ним согласны и Мариана тоже.
ВСЕГО 1540 бутылок!
