Cabo Da Roca Branco

Description

Born on the north-facing slopes of the Rio Trancão valley, this Cabo da Roca carries a distinct whisper of the Atlantic wind. This Arinto, cultivated with a ‘cordão unilateral’ system and boasting vines thirty years old, offers a bracing acidity – think salty sea air – and a surprisingly full body. Harvested by hand in the third week of September, it’s fermented in stainless steel, retaining a remarkable freshness. With a pH of 3.35, 0.7g/L of residual sugar and a total acidity of 5.51g/L, it’s a wine that demands attention, particularly paired with fresh goat cheese or a delicate seabass risotto.
