Native to Portugal

Arinto might be the new kid on the block in Australia, but is set to be the next darling variety of consumers and winemaker alike. There is so much to love here…

With its steely backbone and racy acidity, Arinto is fresh flavoursome and expressive with layers of texture and complexity.

Winemaker Notes

The fruit was harvested during the cool of the night before being gently pressed to cold settle. The pressings fraction was directed to small format old barrels for fermentation, with the free run underdoing the majority of fermentation in stainless steel before
partial transfer to barrel to add spice and texture. The wine was then matured on lees prior to stabilisation and filtration.
