2/2 Very dry (Brut Nature), this is an Arinto with big acidity but perfect balance. Crisp and mouthwatering, it's a reminder: All that Sparkles is Not Champagne! This overachiever was a bargain ($20-ish) then. 12%, 40 months on the lees. #wine #portugal #bucelas #arinto #lisboa

All that sparkles is not Champagne. Reminder for next year.

Bucelas, a small DOC in Lisboa, has one claim to fame: the popular Arinto grape with a connection to Shakespeare (called Charneco in Henry VI, Pt. 2, after a Bucelas village.) They milk that, but Arinto is the real deal. Very dry (Brut Nature), this is an Arinto with big acidity but perfect balance. Crisp and mouthwatering, this overachiever was a bargain ($20-ish). 12%, 40 months on the lees. #wine #portugal #bucelas #arinto #lisboa
