Doravante Arinto Special Edition 2017
“One vineyard, one wine”
Old vines, centennial vines, hillside vines, lowland vines, more clayey or stony, all give birth to different wines.
It has been our mission to interpret all the differences that exist in the vineyards and transpose them into the different wines. Our big bet is on the old Baga vineyards, in the case of reds, and Bical vineyards in the case of whites, although in some vineyards there are mixtures with other local grape varieties.
Winemaking minimalist in terms of intervention but quite differentiated and adapted to each of the different vineyards, that is, the different parcels also have a different approach in the winery in order to better reveal what we believe to be its purest expression.
We want tense, fresh and complex wines, with a strong connection to the “terroir” and a unique personality that, fundamentally, award us with pleasure for many years.
Unfortunately, the Portuguese government woke up to the fact that there had to be a TGV link between Porto and Lisbon.
Many winegrowers have suffered as a result, and the V Puro project is no exception. The Arinto vineyard had to be uprooted. We'll never have a wine like this again. That's why it's a special edition.
A chalky, herbal, stony and smoky wine. One of the best whites this country has ever had!
