Pinto do Areeiro Branco Alvarinho 2023

Pinto do Areeiro Branco Alvarinho is crafted exclusively from Alvarinho grapes sourced from low-yield vineyards. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure the highest quality. The winemaking process includes a peculiar maceration technique, flotation decantation, and temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine is aged on fine lees for one month, with weekly bâtonnage. Before release, it undergoes a minimum two-month maturation period to enhance its complexity and balance.

It presents a bright, crystal-clear appearance with a vivid citrus hue. On the nose, it boasts an abundance of fruit, with complex candied citrus notes, especially grapefruit, alongside well-integrated tropical aromas. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with a striking acidity that provides freshness and longevity. The finish is strong and persistent, highlighting this wine’s excellent aging potential.

With 13.5% alcohol, it pairs beautifully with fish dishes, grilled poultry, Asian cuisine, or a fresh salad. It is also an outstanding choice as a summer aperitif. For optimal enjoyment, serve between 10 and 14ºC. Store in a cool, dry place, away from light.
