Quinta das Arcas was founded on the early eighties by Esteves Monteiro following a deep work of restructuration of the family vineyards initiated a decade before with a strong focus on the land consolidation and the implementation of modern agriculture. After 1985 the company was set up to bottle the wines already produced, putting on the market the first Arca Nova wines. Throughout the years, the company has paid special attention to production, following since the early days a path of quality improvement and minimizing impact in nature. 2012.

Winemaking

The freshest and most elegant Alvarinho ever. Its complex structure combined with a good acidity and minerality makes it a wine people will talk about.

Tasting notes

Clear with light hay yellow shades. Abundant yet elegant floral scents paired with pleasant and fresh fragrances of lemon and orange tree blossom. Finishes with tropical aromas. Very rich structure with a full body and soft feel. Good finish.
