The Arinto is a white grape variety that is grown mainly in Portugal. It is also known as Pedernã or Pederña in some regions. This grape is widely used to produce white wines, especially in the Portuguese wine regions of Bucelas, Vinho Verde and in the Lisbon region.
Arinto clusters are compact, and the berries are small and round, yellowish green in color. One of the main distinguishing characteristics of this variety is its ability to maintain a refreshing and balanced acidity, even in hot climates. This acidity provides a vibrant structure and a sensation of freshness in wines made with Arinto.
In terms of their aromatic profiles, Arinto wines typically display a range of citrus aromas, such as lemon, lime, and grapefruit, along with herbaceous and mineral hints. Some more mature expressions can develop stone fruit notes and floral hints.
The Arinto is a prized variety both in young wines and in those with the capacity to age in the bottle, which demonstrates its versatility in different styles of white wines, from fresh and light wines to more complex and structured options.
White wines made from the Arinto grape variety are known for their refreshing acidity and citrus and herbaceous flavors, making them an excellent choice to pair with a variety of dishes. Due to their vibrant profile and balanced structure, Arinto white wines pair especially well with shellfish and fresh fish, such as oysters, shrimp, sea bass or cod. They also complement very well with salads and light vegetable-based dishes since their acidity highlights the flavors and brings harmony to the whole. In addition, their versatility allows them to accompany more elaborate dishes, such as white meat poultry, sushi, and Asian dishes, where acidity can help balance complex flavors.
In short, Arinto white wines are a versatile choice that enhance a wide range of fresh and flavorful dishes, creating a rewarding and harmonious dining experience.
