Drinking Window: 2019 - 2020
This family-owned winery in Alenquer sustainably farms 63ha of vines surround a 17th century manor house. From the good-value Vinhas do Lasso line, this is an equal blend of Arinto and Fernão Pires, fermented in cement tanks.
It's a stylish, structured white with vibrant tropical and citrus fruits on a creamy, nutty palate. The pricier Quinta do Pinto Arinto is also very good.
