Strawberries and cream make the mouth water on the nose, while the very subtly bubbly palate adds liveliness to a simple yet beautiful and effective wine. A hint of residual sugar on the finish, a great value wine.
Quinta das Arcas was established in the 1980s by Esteves Monteiro, following work begun in the previous decade, restructuring the family's agriculture, with a strong focus on land consolidation and the implementation of modern viticulture. In 1985 he founded the company, launching the first bottles under the Arca Nova brand. Throughout this time, the company paid special attention to the production area, following from an early stage a path of improving quality while minimizing the impact on nature. In 2012, and already with around 200 hectares of vineyards in the Vinhos Verdes Region, Quinta das Arcas launched its first organic wine on the market.
