Another 100% Arinto from Bucelas, this shows some sweet fruit and citrus in the nose, along with some dried fruits. I think I could feel a faint oil-like aroma, like in some Rieslings.
In the mouth, this feels very fresh, sporting a slight sweetness on first impact, showing again some ripe peaches and oranges. But a good, fresh acidity is the driver here, which keeps this from being either fruit-forward or showing too much oak. Finishes nicely in a dry, strong lemony way.
Really nice for an outdoor summer lunch, involving copious amounts of grilled fish and salads.
