100% Arinto.
Arinto is a symbol of purity, nerve and tension. It is believed that its origin lies further south where Wellington stopped Napoleon and at the same time made the wines from this grape famous there in the kingdoms of England. Today it can be said that it is one of the most well distributed grape varieties in Portugal, being part of the skeleton of whites in almost every region. This is a Duriense Arinto, harvested at 550 m, in its unripe version. It was born with mountain revelry and character and then given time to grow. An Arinto that is very Arinto.
