Quinta Do Gradil Sauvignon & Arinto Branco

Description

Quinta do Gradil White is made from Sauvignon Blanc and Arinto grapes. The blend of these two varieties is clearly expressed in the aroma and flavor, with tropical fruit, asparagus, and a faint vegetal note from the Sauvignon Blanc, and citrus nuances from the Arinto. The wine is light, balanced, inviting, and enjoyable to taste. Quinta do Gradil has been part of Portuguese wine history since 1492. It was only in the 17th century that the vineyard and its wines became a part of the estate’s economic activity. The most decisive moment came in the 19th century when Dona Maria do Carmo Romeiro da Fonseca inherited the property from her father and transformed it into a leading agricultural enterprise focused on wine production. Years later, Quinta do Gradil remains a Portuguese benchmark on the world stage, now led by Luís Vieira. *(Illustrative image only)*
