Monte Bluna Reserva White 2021

Lawyer and wine enthusiast António Guerreiro has worked with enthusiastic winemaker Nuno Martins to revolutionize the Arruda dos Vinhos region. In a beautiful hillside vineyard with Jurassic limestone and clay-limestone soils with incredible potential, they achieve excellent freshness and tension in their wines. The 6 hectares of production are farmed sustainably, and the focus is on delivering the best Aragonez in the country, from an old vineyard, as well as expressions full of character from the region's native or typical grape varieties, approved by the Arruda DOC: Arinto and Vital, Tinta Miúda and Syrah.

Wine:
Clay-limestone terroir of  Kimeridgian in  DOC Arruda, located at an altitude of over 300 metres, between the sea and the Tagus. A blend of Arinto and Vital grape varieties, the latter being very rare. Aged in  used French oak barrels from the Allier forest of 400 L, 300 L and 225 L, with various low-intensity toasting regimes.

Splendid white wine reminiscent of the great Chablis Grand Cru! Beautiful texture combined with an immense limestone minerality, so saline that it reminds one of diving into the sea. Very long finish that carries a lot of tension, nerve and soil. What a wine!
