2023 A&D Wines Quinta de Santa Teresa Monólogo Arinto P24 BIO

Last year, A&D Wines was named the most revolutionary wine producer by Portugal's most important wine magazine VINHO because of their innovative Vinho Verde. A&D are Alexandre & Dialina Gomas, technical engineers with a great love for wine. You can immediately see that technical precision in the extremely healthy vineyards and very clean winery in the renovated Quinta de Santa Teresa. The wines are made from indigenous varieties such as Avesso, Arinto and Malvasia Fina, with minimal intervention. Result: incredibly pure wines with a lot of authenticity of the grape, expression and freshness.

Monólogo represents a single grape from a single vineyard. Each wine from the Monólogo series has a 'monologue': its own story with its own character. That character is depicted in the expressive labels. The label shows a woman with flowers and a fruit basket. They portray the delicate character of the wine. The Monólogo Arinto P24 is a monovarietal wine produced with grapes from the P24 plot of Quinta de Santa Teresa, based on sustainable agricultural practices. The wine is Vegan and Bio certified.

The Arinto is a fresh wine, with delicate aromas and good acidity. fresh and sparkling straw yellow in the glass. Initially a bit closed aromas, but after a bit of rolling and a little time, a beautiful freshness emerges piece by piece in the nose with citrus fruit such as lime, a light floral tone. On the palate the wine is slightly minerally and has a lively but balanced acidity and leaves a fresh and pleasant aftertaste. The wine is very delicate and difficult to find such a white white wine at this price.
