Alentejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalThis is Antonio Maçanita's Clockwork Orange. Arinto, Roupeiro, Verdelho, Antão Vaz, Alincante Branco, Trincadeira-das-Pratas, Fernão Pires make up the Alentejo coferment blend, from various granite-soiled vineyards and vines 15-50 years old. After the first whole bunch pressing, 10-15% of the remaining juice macerated on the skins for a week, and then was pressed again and reunited with the whole, where it native fermented. It remained in stainless on lees until it was bottled, unfiltered, the following fall. Pouring a hazy golden orange hue, this textural white draws honeycomb, apricot, bergamot, lime peel, and marmalade along the buzzy palate, with a lingering salinity and citrus twist. Super smart, food-friendly, and balanced, this works for solo sipping or with foods.Tasted: 12 August 2026Tasted by: Prices:| ON | $30.00 | 750ml | consignment |
