Génese is from Monção and Melgaço, 100% Alvarinho grapes, carefully selected from vineyards in altitude. The winemaking process combines slow fermentation in stainless steel with partial malolactic fermentation and aging 20% of the wine in Mixtus Barrels—barrels crafted from different types of wood. A rounder, richer and fuller style of Alvarinho that has more texture and weight than many and possesses great cellar potential too.

Luis Cerdeira is synomous with Vinho Verde since as a young man he joined his father who started the Soalheiro wine estate in 1982. Now that Luis's own son Manuel is a young man he wanted to do the same thing for him, and together they have started a winery called Vine Vinu, which means from vine to glass, to explore different terroirs. They have two - one which is coastal made in Requiao, which is 20km form the sea - and one which is in the mountains in Melgaco. They are bottling them separately.
