Quinta De San Michel Arinto Branco

Description

This Arinto from Quinta de San Michel, near Janas, Sintra, is a delightful testament to the virtues of patience. After a generous nine months ageing in oak and a further 24 in bottle, it presents with a powerfully mineral character and an Atlantic-inspired acidity. Green apple and fennel notes are beautifully balanced by the distinctive salinity of the Colares terroir, and a subtle toasty nuance on the palate hints at the influence of the carefully selected oak. Perfect paired with grilled fish and lemon, it truly unlocks the complexity of this hidden gem.
