Quinta da Murta White

Quinta da Murta White is a Portuguese white wine from Bucelas, just north of Lisbon, made from Arinto, the grape at the heart of this historic appellation. It is a crisp, food-friendly white with real local identity, and one of the best ways to taste what the Lisbon region does with white grapes.

Tasting notes

The estate describes its Bucelas white as fresh, mineral and creamy. Arinto brings citrus, green apple and a firm, mouth-watering acidity, while a few months on the lees with bâtonnage add a soft, rounder texture.

Food pairing

Pour it with grilled sea bass, amêijoas à Bulhão Pato, açorda de marisco, oysters or a fresh goat cheese. It also loves Lisbon's petiscos, such as peixinhos da horta.
