Quinta da Boa Esperança Arinto Colheita is a bright, elegant white wine from the Vinho Regional Lisboa in Portugal, crafted from 100% Arinto by winemaker Paula Fernandes. Situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra de Montejunto, the Quinta da Boa Esperança estate produces wines of real freshness, mineral precision, and a distinctly Atlantic character.

Why You'll Love It

Arinto is one of Portugal's most versatile and age-worthy white grape varieties, prized for its naturally high acidity, citrus character, and ability to retain freshness even in warm climates. In the Lisboa region, where Atlantic breezes from the ocean moderate the climate and clay-limestone soils add mineral depth, Arinto produces wines of exceptional elegance and complexity. Quinta da Boa Esperança's Colheita is a particularly refined expression, with a thoughtful split-fermentation approach that adds texture and depth without sacrificing the variety's signature freshness.

Vineyard & Production

Arinto vines are cultivated in clay-limestone soils at Quinta da Boa Esperança, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra de Montejunto. After hand-harvesting into 15kg crates, whole bunches are pressed and 90% of the must is fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 10 to 12 degrees to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The remaining 10% is fermented in second-use French oak barrels and kept on fine lees with battonage for around 8 to 9 months, adding texture and complexity to the final blend. Vegan.
