Lo-Fi
Vinho Branco
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Arinto is a white grape from Portugal. It can produce high acid wines with lemon notes. If you never heard of this grape and wine you are not alone. Got this at Lo-Fi a funky place/wine bar in Los Alamos, CA 2 years ago. The wines can be hit and miss but this is - well awesome. Super fresh and bright. Mandarine nose, with a touch of malo (cheese). In the glass ton’s of mandarine and citrus notes. Hint green apple. Touch honey. Malolactic fermentation clearly shows. A great wine to pair with seafood. If you are in the Santa Maria Valley stop by - they play old LP’s on their turntable! And for some reason they remember me even if i show up just once a year.
