Description

Quinta do Boição - Arinto Pelicular Branco is a white wine from Bucelas, Portugal, produced by Quinta do Boição. The winemaking is overseen by Nuno Faria. It is made from the Arinto grape. Vintage 2019. Winemaking of the Quinta do Boição Trilogia de Arintos - Arinto Pelicular Branco: Full destemming, skin maceration and fermentation in contact with the skins. The white grapes are vinified using the same method as red grapes, with fermentation carried out in contact with their own skins, resulting in an orange hue, also known as a "Vinho de Curtimenta" (skin-contact wine). Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels. Appearance: intense golden colour, almost amber (orange). Aroma: intense notes of wildflowers and dried fruits, with hints of chamomile. On the palate, it combines unctuousness with minerality and the natural acidity of Arinto, with notes of lime blossom tea. It pairs well with buttery cheese, feijoada and Iberian cured sausages. Serve at 10–12 °C. ABV 13.5%, presented in a 0.75 L bottle. Serve this white well chilled but not ice-cold, in a medium-sized glass that concentrates the aromas. If the bottle comes out of the fridge too cold, let it stand for a few minutes at room temperature so the wine can reveal its full expression. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place without temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal it and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
