2019 Quinta Casal das Freiras Arinto Branco

The Casal das Freiras Arinto is a beautiful fresh fruity white wine and is made for 100% from the autochthonous grape Arinto. This native grape thrives in the warm climate and complex soils of the Tejo region, while retaining a high natural acidity that makes this white wine very balanced and fresh.

The Arinto grapes are picked by hand and are then destemmed and gently crushed. The must ferments in stainless steel at a controlled (low) temperature, after which the wine is allowed to mature on its lees (sur lie) for 4-6 months in stainless steel.

This 100% Arinto, one of the oldest native Portuguese grape varieties, is light straw yellow in the glass. In the nose we smell freshness, freshness and aromas of green apple and lime with a nice acidity in the mouth, refreshing, structured and with a velvety aftertaste. Don't be fooled by the price because this is a wine that gives a lot of wine for the money. The Arinto has a modest alcohol percentage of 12.5%, a nice acidity and little to no residual sugar and this makes it pleasant as an aperitif on the terrace or to enjoy with fish, chicken, salads or tapas.
