Get to know: Soalheiro, Allo
Tasting Note
This may sound like a greeting, but the name is simply a merge of Alvarinho and Loureiro’s initials. Loureiro dominates (70% of the blend) and provides floral notes and soft ripe tropical fruit. Alvarinho is responsible for the wine’s structure. By combining the delicate nature of Loureiro with the confidence of Alvarinho, ALLO is a wine that embodies both the fun and serious sides of their character.
This is a great pairing with grilled poultry on the BBQ or try with fish tacos.
