£12.61
The Quinta do Pinto Arinto DOC Alenquer 2023 with 13% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle is an exceptional white wine from Portugal that impressively reflects the full aromatic potential of the Arinto grape variety. On the unique terroir of the DOC Alenquer, north of Lisbon, Arinto develops its typical freshness and structure, complemented by an unmistakable creaminess that characterises the white wines of Quinta do Pinto.
The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in the morning to preserve maximum freshness. After careful selection on the sorting table, they are completely destemmed and macerated for four hours before the must is clarified by cold decanting for 48 hours. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place at a controlled temperature of 16-17 °C in cement tanks, where the wine then matures for three months under fine lees. This precise vinification creates a wine of great personality that combines the mineral tension of the Atlantic climate with a silky texture and elegant depth – a prime example of Portuguese craftsmanship and loyalty to the terroir.
Tasting NoteThe Quinta do Pinto Arinto DOC Alenquer 2023 presents itself in a bright lemon yellow colour in the glass. The nose reveals clear citrus flavours with dominant lime notes, harmoniously interwoven with floral and slightly salty nuances. On the palate, the wine is fresh, lively and precise, with a marked increase in acidity characterised by the Atlantic influence of the terroir. At the same time, a gentle, characteristic creaminess unfolds, giving it balance and depth. The finish is long, salty and persistent, with a mineral aftertaste – a wine of exceptional longevity and elegance.
Acidity: 6.75 g/l
Residual sugar: 0.6 g/l
The Quinta do Pinto Arinto DOC Alenquer 2023 is a versatile accompaniment to seafood, grilled fish and white meat dishes. It is particularly recommended with scallops, prawns with garlic, roast cod or lemon chicken. It also harmonises perfectly with risotto with citrus fruits, Mediterranean vegetable terrines or mild goat’s cheese. Served at 10-12 °C, this Arinto reveals its full aromatic depth and elegance. With its combination of freshness, salty minerality and creamy structure, it is an expressive, long-lasting white wine that perfectly epitomises Portugal’s Atlantic terroir.
