Murgas
Arinto from the historic DOC of Bucelas, but not as you know it, with a skin-contact twist!
MUG-CUR-TB2025-BUK
Grape Varieties Arinto
From the same source material as their flagship Bucelas branco, the curtimenta is an expression of Arinto not commonly found under the DOC classification.
A product of curiosity and great winemaking, the Arinto is de-stemmed before fermentation and left to macerate over winter, until about February, roughly 5 months. The wine is then racked off the skins and left for a further 6 months on fine lees before bottling.
A lovely expression of Arinto, with classic varietal crispness of acidic structure, fleshy fruit falvours of tangerine, dried stone fruit, and a slight resinous and oily note. It retains the texture of the limestone soils and a hint of salinity, but that's enhanced by fine grip from ripe tannin. Very aromatic, mouth-filling, full of pure flavour, it's an absolute delight.
