Description

Embark on a sensory journey to the sun-kissed vineyards of Lisboa, Portugal, with the Companhia das Quintas Rare. This meticulously crafted white wine, a testament to the artistry of Portuguese winemaking, invites you to discover a rare expression of terroir. The grapevariety Arinto is a Portuguese white grape variety known for its high acidity. It's particularly known for its use in the Vinho Verde region and the Bucelas region near Lisbon. Arinto grapes tend to produce dry white wines with a refreshing character. The Rare captures the essence of the Lisboa region, where the Atlantic breeze caresses the vines, imparting a distinct character to the grapes. The wine embodies the region's unique blend of tradition and innovation, resulting in a wine that is both authentic and contemporary.

This wine greets you with a delicate bouquet of aromas that dance playfully in the glass. Zesty citrus notes intertwine with the freshness of green apple and subtle hints of white blossoms, creating an invigorating and enticing olfactory experience. On the palate, the Rare reveals its true character. A crisp acidity awakens the senses, complemented by a refreshing minerality that lingers on the finish. The wine's texture is elegant and refined, with a subtle creaminess that adds depth and complexity. The Rare is a versatile companion to a wide range of culinary delights. Its vibrant acidity and refreshing character make it an ideal partner for seafood dishes, such as grilled fish, shrimp scampi, or oyster on the half shell. It also pairs beautifully with light salads, creamy cheeses, or Asian-inspired cuisine.

Rare is not just a wine; it's an experience. It's an invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and appreciate the artistry of Portuguese winemaking. Whether you're sharing it with friends on a warm summer evening or enjoying it in quiet contemplation, the Rare is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Vegan-friendly, this wine is crafted with minimal intervention, allowing the true essence of the Arinto grape to shine through. Serve chilled, between 8-10°C, to fully appreciate its crisp acidity and refreshing character. No need to wait, this wine is ready to drink and enjoy now. So, uncork a bottle of Companhia das Quintas Rare and let it transport you to the enchanting vineyards of Lisboa. It's a rare opportunity to discover the true taste of Portugal.
