Vila Nova Arinto (Portugal)

Arinto is the zestiest and freshest grape used in Vinho Verde blends, but here it is on its own, and it's delicious! Single varietal Arinto - Vinho Verde's zesty and freshest grape.

This is sunshine in a glass - bright lemon citrus on the nose, then the palate is fresh with zesty acidity, hints of peach and grapefruit, and a pleasant minerality on the finish. This is insanely good value.

Vinho Verde is a region located at Portugal's most Northwesterly point. This climate is cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Portugal, producing refreshing, energetic wines which reflect this terroir. A slight fizzy effervescence is characteristic of the region's white wines, and blending a variety of local grapes is common. The region spans from the Minho river on the Spanish border to the Douro river to the south.

Vila Nova is produced by our good friend Bernard Lencastre - one of the wine world's crazy geniuses!

Perfect with all manner of fish and seafood - such as scallops, crab or lobster in a citrus butter.
