Quinta da Romeira, The Wine Society's Generation Series Bucelas, Portugal 2022

Although wines hailing from the small DOC, just north of Lisbon, are now seldom on British shelves, it was a wine from Bucelas that The Wine Society first bought and listed when it was founded in 1874. For its Generation Series, the retailer approached Sogrape-owned Quinta da Romeira with whom it produced this crisp and linear Arinto. Lemon juice, lime zest and green apple aromas dominate, underscored by a subtle vegetal layer (freshly-cut grass, gooseberry). Linear and refreshing, this will be a perfect companion to seafood.
