Monte Da Carochinha Arinto Reserva Branco

Description

This Arinto Reserva from Monte da Carochinha truly feels like it’s been meticulously shaped by the land of the Setúbal Peninsula. You get a lovely dance of white stone fruits, underscored by a saline whisper reminiscent of the river breeze, all grounded by a pronounced minerality that speaks of the local limestone soils. That vibrant acidity – like a burst of lemon – keeps things beautifully balanced, with just enough wood influence to add a touch of refinement. Critics have praised it, awarding 16.5 points and suggesting it pairs wonderfully with grilled fish and seafood rice.
