Merchant's description

Arenae Malvasia Colares 2022 is a white wine produced from ungrafted, phylloxera-free vines rooted in the sandy soils of Sintra, Portugal. The grapes undergo a six-hour skin maceration before maturation in stainless steel for 12 months, alongside an ageing period in traditional wood casks, including mahogany. This vintage is marked by its saline and iodine characteristics, derived from proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Aromas include citrus peel and herbal notes, with a pronounced natural acidity and phenolic structure that suggest longevity.
