Arinto 2018, Vinho Verde, Quinta Picouto de Cima

Made from 100% Arinto, this Vinho Verde has stimulating racy green apple fruits, and a light sparkle; slakes the thirst and gets the mouth watering. 12.5% alcohol.

As an aperitif with nibbles, raw seafood, sushi or oily fish such as mackerel.

Vinho Verde has come on in leaps and bounds; these days fewer semi-sweet green herbaceous wines and more light succulent and concentrated versions that are perfect with shellfish.
