The Monólogo Arinto P24 is a monovarietal wine produced with grapes from the P24 plot at Quinta de Santa Teresa, based on sustainable agricultural practices. The wine is Vegan and Bio certified.

The Arinto is a fresh wine, with delicate aromas and good acidity. in the glass fresh and sparkling straw yellow. In the beginning a little closed aromas, but after some rolling and a little time, piece by piece a nice freshness comes in the nose with citrus fruit such as lime, light floral tone. On the palate, the wine is somewhat mineral and has a lively, but balanced acidity and leaves a fresh and pleasant finish. The wine is very delicate and hard to find such a white white wine at this price.
