Soalheiro

Pioneer in the creation of Alvarinho wine in Melgaço, and an international reference for wines from this variety, Soalheiro is perfectly integrated into the typical Minho landscape that surrounds it.

In the seventies (1974) his passion for viticulture led João António Cerdeira, with the support of his father, António Esteves Ferreira, to plant the first Alvarinho vineyard and to create in 1982 the first Alvarinho brand in Melgaço and one of the first of Alvarinho in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço.
