Aveleda Solos de Xisto Alvarinho 2024

The schist soils where Aveleda grows this outstanding Alvarinho give it depth and refreshment. Lemon and green apple carry a saline, briny edge, and the acidity gives the wine real density and weight. Crushed shell on the finish. Grilled calamari or grilled shrimp would both be terrific with it. Drink date: 2026-2029. (Roger Voss,nataliemaclean.com,Oct. 10 2026)
