The Manta de Retalhos experience reveals the Monção and Melgaço Valley as a territory of diversity, where each plot, each soil, and each producer contributes to the unique identity of Alvarinho. A journey that connects wine, landscape, and the local community, reflecting Soalheiro's philosophy of valuing the place and the people who build it.
The experience begins with a visit to a leading local producer, Prados de Melgaço, an artisan cheese factory dedicated to the production of goat's cheese, renowned for its respect for animal welfare and sustainable practices. This is a first encounter with the flavors and knowledge that are part of the region's gastronomic identity.
This is followed by a visit to Soalheiro, on a route that crosses the infusion fields, the first Alvarinho vineyard, the Sala Origem, and the winery, ending on the panoramic balcony overlooking the Monção and Melgaço Valley. Here, the landscape reveals itself as a veritable patchwork quilt, where different exposures, altitudes, and soils give rise to distinct expressions of the grape variety.
