Arinto dos Açores Branco 2022
Descripción
Vino blanco muy especial ya que está elaborado por António Maçanita con una variedad que solamente se da en las islas Azores: la Arinto dos Açores, que nada tiene que ver con la Arinto peninsular. Muy mineral y cítrico, con tensión y frescura, y una acidez sobresaliente. Además nos deja una sensación salina extraordinaria.

Opinión de los críticos
Surprisingly enough, I liked the 2022 Arinto dos Açores more than the other vintages, as the grapes ripened more thoroughly and the wine presented better balance and more power, with contained ripeness and integrated, balanced acidity. It has 12% alcohol, a pH of 3.44 and 6.04 grams of acidity. It fermented in 600- to 1,000-liter horizontal stainless steel vats, where it matured with fine lees—all the wines from 2020 onward were fermented with indigenous yeasts. Some malolactic occurred in some of the vats, for around 10 months. 11,420 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.
Bright lemon yellow, with sappy mineral aromas and exuberant intensity. Bruised apricot, juicy acidity and saline notes. Sleek palate with crunchy stone fruit and floral notes emerging. Textured and clean, with a saline finish.
