Arinto

The grapes
Azal
Best known in Vinho Verde
A sharp, citrusy white grape from Portugal's cool, green north-west. It adds bracing acidity and a lemon-and-green-apple crunch to Vinho Verde blends. Light, low in alcohol and refreshing, it is made for long summer lunches and simple seafood.
Loureiro
Best known in Vinho Verde, Rías Baixas
A fragrant white grape from Vinho Verde. Lime, orange blossom and bay leaf, with crisp acidity and a light body. Aromatic and very refreshing, it is often bottled on its own and also turns up in Rías Baixas blends across the border.
Trajadura
Best known in Vinho Verde
A Portuguese white grape used mainly in Vinho Verde blends. Soft acidity and ripe pear and apple fruit, giving body and roundness to the sharper local grapes. In Galicia, across the border, it is known as Treixadura.
Where it's from
Vinho Verde
Portugal
Green wine from Portugal's lush, rainy northwest. Low alcohol, high acid, light, often with a gentle spritz. Alvarinho (Albariño) is the finest expression. The generic blends are made for hot weather; the single-varietal wines are genuinely exciting.
