Soalheiro Pet Nat Alvarinho 2024

Get to know: Soalheiro Pet Nat NV

A fresh, lightly fizzy Alvarinho with bags of charm.

Tasting Note

This is a vibrant, naturally sparkling wine that’s all about texture and freshness. Expect notes of lemon zest, green apple, and wild herbs, with a gentle spritz and a soft, creamy finish. There’s a light haze in the bottle – all part of the charm – and the bubbles come from the grape’s own sugars, captured during fermentation. No added sugar, no disgorgement, just a deliciously unfiltered taste of Alvarinho.

Top food pairings:

  • Grilled courgettes with mint and tahini
  • Buttered prawns with garlic and parsley
  • Cheese: fresh goat’s cheese or a soft-rind cheese like Brie
Kate Says

"I love Albarino and this fresh, sparkling take on the grape is a delight. You'd expect no less though from Soalheiro, who continue to push what this varietal can do and always with a focus on precise, ripe flavour."

Producer Info

Soalheiro are pioneers of Alvarinho in northern Portugal, with vineyards in Monção and Melgaço – the very top corner of the country. Their wines are known for precision and purity, but this Pét Nat shows a more experimental side.

The fruit comes from granite-rich soils at 100–200 metres above sea level, where a cool Atlantic-influenced climate helps the grapes ripen slowly, preserving acidity and freshness. The wine is made using the ancestral method: bottled mid-ferment with no additions or filtering. The result is a hazy, bottle-fermented sparkler with a raw, expressive style.

How it’s made:

  • 100% Alvarinho from high-altitude granite soils
  • Natural fermentation starts in tank, finishes in bottle
  • No added sugar, no filtering, no disgorgement
  • Live yeasts remain in the bottle (expect a gentle haze)
  • Zero intervention beyond the bare essentials
