Arinto is a local varietal, that’s mid to late ripening. This allows the grape to stay on the vine for an extended period, developing additional complexity and depth. This, coupled with the grape’s naturally high acidity (think Portuguese Riesling), combines for a deliciously wonderful white. It’s also completely organic.
Two years in barrel with battonage only when topping up. The wine was then moved to horizontal stainless steel tank where it spent 10 months on lees before bottling.
Tasting Note:Gleaming golden yellow, a harmony between honeyed lemon and grapefruit, coupled with the more intricate scents of cloves, quince, and a nuance reminiscent of coconut, coalesces seamlessly with oaky nuances. Appetising smoky notes of vanilla, brioche, and butter croissants embellish the palate, while vibrant acidity keeps it delightfully balanced.
