Bucelas

About this region

A tiny appellation in the clay-limestone hills north of Lisbon, authorised only for white grape varieties. Arinto must make up at least 75% of the blend, giving taut, citrus-driven wines with bracing acidity and a mineral spine that rewards bottle age. Still wine and classic-method sparkling are the only two categories the specification permits.
