Wine Information

92 Points — Wine Enthusiast

"This bottling is made from the Portuguese grape Arinto, which isn't yet listed in the American viticultural rolls, hence the proprietary name. The nose begins with toaster notes of baked apple and crushed hazelnut, leading into a palate of yellow pear with hints of banana. The leathery texture is quite compelling." — Matt Kettmann

Tasting notes

With its hallmark acidity and citrus-driven profile, there is a distinctive aromatic lift, rounded

edges, and a subtle herbal thread. The result is both refreshing and adventurous. This wine speaks fluently in

both terroir and tension. Zesty lime peel, green apple skin, and white peach open the aromatic palette, backed

by notes of chamomile, crushed seashell, and a gentle hint of almond blossom. There's a cool, coastal breeze

quality despite the inland origin. Tightly wound and linear on entry, the wine fans out to reveal flavors of Meyer

lemon, underripe nectarine, and a whisper of saline minerality. A phenolic texture—almost waxy—balancesthe

raciness with a more grounded, savory edge. The finish lingers with notes of lemon verbena, wet stone, and

green pear.
