Description
A delightful blend of Arinto, Alvarinho and Loureiro with fermentation and 2 months of ageing with batonnage, in French oak barrels. Loureiro brings floral notes of jasmine, gardenia and pithy orange peel, the Alvarinho more mineral and some tropical notes, whilst Arinto brings structure and freshness.
The substantial proportion of Alvarinho and judicious use of large oak barrel gives this wine much greater density and power than you might expect to find in Vinho Verde. Abundant aromas of white flowers with ripe citrus and stone fruit, accompanied by a textural quality from the batonnage and subtle use of oak barrels. Beautifully balanced and harmonious to the finish.
