Perfect for enthusiasts of high-mineral Portuguese whites and for investors seeking wines with strong ageing potential. Vineyards & Winemaking Arinto from this producer is known for its natural acidity, textural precision, and capacity to age for over a decade. – Consorte Arinto 2023: fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve citrus purity and a clean, crystalline profile. – Consorte Garrafeira 2020: crafted from selected plots with lower yields, partially barrel-aged, showing greater structure, density, and layered complexity. Both wines reflect the terroir of Castelo de Paiva, where granitic soils and Atlantic influence generate freshness, salinity, and tension. Tasting Profiles 2023 – 2 Bottles Bright, youthful, and linear. Notes of lemon zest, green apple, lime blossom, and crushed stone. Fresh, razor-sharp acidity with a long, saline finish. Garrafeira 2020 – 1 Bottle More structured and textural. Aromas of citrus oil, white peach, dried herbs, vanilla bean, and wet granite. On the palate: depth, mineral precision, and slow-unfolding complexity — built for long ageing. Cellar Condition & Provenance All three bottles have been stored in impeccable, temperature-controlled cellar conditions, ensuring perfect preservation of freshness, acidity, and ageing capacity. Labels, capsules, and levels are excellent. Collector & Investment Value Arinto from boutique northern producers has become one of Portugal’s highest-appreciating white-wine categories. The Garrafeira 2020 is particularly sought-after due to its scarcity and ageing pedigree, while the 2023 provides immediate drinking pleasure with long-term potential. As a combined lot, this selection represents an excellent investment opportunity, ideal for collectors building a portfolio of Portuguese whites with strong terroir identity and proven longevity.
