Drinking Window: 2019 - 2021
Alvarinho and Arinto are normally grapes you see in Vinho Verde, but here in the Algarve they have blended them to produce quite a savoury wine with notes of blossom, peach and crisp apple, along with more complex nutty tones on a firm, refreshing palate. This project is a partnership between Quinta da Mata Moura, whose 12ha were planted in 2000, and the winemaking team at Herdade de Malhadinha Nova in Alentejo.
