Lés-a-Lés Arinto de Pedra e Cal 2020/2021 Bucelas White

Lés-a-Lés Arinto de Pedra & Cal Bucelas is a fresh and saline expression from vines that are just 10km from the Atlantic. The vines here are over 60 years old and are planted near a river on an ancient ocean bed, with calcareous soils mixed with clay and ancient fossils. This 100% Arinto is a bottled blend of 2020 and 2021 vintages. Grape from each vintage went through a short maceration on the skins and were fermented with indigenous yeasts in used barrels, then aged on the lees for 6 months before aging in stainless steel for another six months. The terroir and climate of Bucelas gives this Arinto nice acidity and makes it a fantastic pairing with summer vegetables and grilled meat.
