Arribas Wine 'Belfo' Branco

White | Trás-os-Montes | 2020 | 13%

This tightly wound, flinty, mineral top tier white hails from a single parcel of 70-90 year old field blend vines at 650-700m above sea-level with limestone and quartz in addition to the region’s typical decomposed granite. A fino-like touch of nutty lees and vanillin oak bring complexity to the fresh mineral palate.

Tasting Notes

This tightly wound, flinty, mineral top tier white hails from a single parcel of 70-90 year old field blend vines at 650-700m above sea-level with limestone and quartz in addition to the region’s typical decomposed granite. A fino-like touch of nutty lees and vanillin oak bring complexity to the fresh mineral palate. Intense, with a sustained finish. Only 1,800 bottles made. The label depicts a Mirandes donkey.

Field blend

Wine Making

Hand harvested into 20 Kg cases, foot trodding was carried out in the cellaer, followed by 6-8 hours of skin maceration (whole bunch) before pressing and racking into barrels. In those barrels (of french oak, 16 % new), the wine carried out the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations and aged for 10 months over its fine lees, without any disturbances.
