La Marea 'Cachudo' White Wine 2023

Distinctly graphite minerality on the forefront of the bouquet leans in quickly to satsuma mandarin and jasmine flower. Vibrant acidity leads the attack on the palate and confirms the light citrus and floral notes, shifting from jasmine to orange blossom. Finishes crisp with a subtle herbaceous verbena note and buttered brioche.

Arinto, a typical Portuguese variety, withstands water and heat stress and produces high acid, citrus tinged and ageable white wines in warm climates. 

Fermented in a mix of stainless drums and used oak barrels. Primary fermentation arrested at 1 g/L. Full secondary fermentation. Aged on lees 7 months, filtered and bottled with 3% Verdelho.
