The front label states this is a 50/50 blend of Arinto and Alvarinho. This is a beautiful wine that seems to take Portugese whites, which are often inexpensive and lighter in style, to a more serious place. At times, this can be a mistake with over zealous winemakers, but in this case, they pull it off admirably. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has peaches/nectarines, crushed shells, slight vanilla and spice, and a bit of lime zest. Medium bodied. Moderate acidity. Silky texture. On the palate, lemon/lime with some leaches. A twang of lemon tartness comes thru on the finish. This drinks well on its own and should be very food friendly. This will work great with Chicken and Rice.
