Mira do Ó Arinto de Bucelas Branco 2021

This wine is made with Arinto grapes from two small vineyards. A lowland vineyard in a very cool area with deep clay-limestone soils and another located on a more chalky and sunny hillside. It is a raw and uncompromising approach to the unique “terroir” of this region that revisits artisan winemaking techniques, naked of technology and in search of the purest expression of the “Arinto de Bucelas”.
