Vineyards
This wine is produced from Quinta do Gradil’s vineyards in the Lisboa region of Portugal, where a maritime influence and clay-limestone soils provide an ideal environment for preserving acidity and freshness. The Sauvignon Blanc and Arinto grapes, balanced by the cooling Atlantic breeze, contribute to the wine’s vibrant and mineral profile.

This 2018 vintage blends 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% Arinto, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel to retain the crispness and aromatics.
