Quinta de Sant’Ana, Arinto, Lisboa, Portugal 2018
{organic} 100% Arinto
LEMON CURD, QUINCE, SPICY OAK, DRY
From a tiny harvest of Arinto aged in old oak barrels, Quinta de Sant’Ana has created this voluptuous beauty. It’s redolent of preserved Meyer lemon, quince, and apricot preserves, lightly floral and nutty, and has a certain piña colada-esque quality, wrapped in a gentle robe of spicy vanilla, and finishing with a palate-cleansing, focused acidity. If you like drinking Arinto and getting caught in the rain…
Serving Suggestion: Seared scallops w/ a lemon beurre blanc. Mustard greens sauteed in olive oil w/ crushed red pepper & soy sauce.
