Cidrô Arinto Branco Farm

An Arinto of great aromatic freshness, with a very delicate fruit profile, its nose mainly evidenced by a mineral character very typical of the grape variety. Notes of white fruit, like green plum, combine perfectly with hints of flint, smoke and chipped stone, and toasted nuances from well-integrated wood. On the palate it is very fresh, tense and vibrant, with flavors that are hinted at on the nose. It finishes very long, with its acidity very lively and persistent.

Winemaking:
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in 20kg boxes. After undergoing a manual selection process, the bunches are destemmed, and the grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press. After a 24-hour settling period, the alcoholic fermentation of the must follows in stainless steel tanks at 14-16ºC. 80% of the Arinto aged in barrels (20% new wood) and in a cask, both made of French oak, for a period of 8 months in contact with fine lees using the batonnage method, while 20% aged in stainless steel until blending and bottling.
