On the best plots of land at Quinta de Sant'Ana, Arinto grapes are planted which, in some years, are so sublime that they are used to make this exquisite wine. An excellent Arinto wine that has undergone extensive barrel aging. Beautiful high acidity ensures a very distinctive and exceptional wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass \u003c\/strong\u003eBurgundy glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes\u003c\/strong\u003e Arinto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e High in acidity, yet rich and generous \u0026amp; stone fruit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServe\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 - 12 degrees Celsius\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation \u003c\/strong\u003eGradil, Mafra, Lisbon, Portugal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAsian cuisine, both light and spicy dishes, where the sweet core of the Riesling beautifully balances the spicy character.

The winery is run by James Frost and António Maçanita, who produce organic wines on calcareous clay soil. António’s original and sometimes bold approach results in wines that are both traditional and surprisingly innovative for Portugal. The vineyards are close to the Atlantic Ocean, which provides ideal conditions for the production of refined and fresh wines with a distinct character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic. Vinha do Marreco is a steep, secluded south-facing plot with calcareous clay soil. Half a hectare of Arinto was planted here in 2013. The planting was anything but easy: the winter was dry, followed by a particularly wet spring and late rainfall, which was very bad for the young plants. The plot is pruned according to the Guyot system (Double Guyot) and the vines produce large clusters of golden and copper-colored grapes. 2018 was a challenging year. After a spring and early summer with cool and unpredictable weather, interspersed with untimely rain showers, we were concerned about the slow ripening of the grapes. The climate has an Atlantic influence: typically cool mornings and warm afternoons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe grapes were whole-cluster pressed and the juice rested for 24 hours in tank for settling. Then the must was transferred to used French oak barriques, where fermentation took place at room temperature with indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation then occurred, with occasional bâtonnage, only when refilling the barrels. The wine matured for 24 months on the lees in the same barriques and then spent another 12 months in horizontally placed stainless steel tanks before being bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiltering\u003c\/strong\u003e Plate filter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidual sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 1.5 grams per liter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.9 grams per liter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePH value\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.90\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/6665\/5581\/files\/Halfes_Vinha_do_Marreco_2018.pdf?v=1767709327\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload PDF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quinta de Sant'Ana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62750179262813,"sku":"18350416","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/6665\/5581\/files\/Vinha_do_Marecco_Quinta_de_Sant_Ana_Halfes.png?v=1764773741","url":"https:\/\/www.halfes.nl\/en\/products\/arinto-vinha-de-marreco-2018-quinta-de-santana","provider":"Halfes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
