Reserva Branco

2012 Alentejano Arinto 65% Antao Vaz 35%

With a medium body, this wine presents a well-balanced profile that is both refreshing and substantial, making it incredibly food-friendly. Its vibrant acidity adds a bright and lively character, enhancing the overall experience on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing delightful notes of citrus and stone fruit that dance gracefully against a backdrop of subtle minerality. This vintage, crafted in 2012, is elegantly dry, providing a clean finish that invites a second sip and perfectly complements a variety of culinary delights. The Alento Reserva Branco is an excellent example of the rich potential found in the Alentejano winemaking tradition, delivering a wine that is both exquisite and approachable.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
