Quinta de Penhó, located in the Vinho Verde region in the North of Portugal, is a garage winery on an old family property at the top of a mountain, looking down on a breathtaking valley. With Ricardo Moreira at the winemaking helm, they started producing wines in 2018 following a hiatus of 20 years in the family’s winemaking. The wine is produced as naturally as possible, with minimal intervention, resulting in unique natural wines with very low sulfite levels. 
 
Arinto is one of the oldest Portuguese native castes (varieties). This wine is made in a “Curtimenta” style (skin contact) where the must was fermented in contact with the grape skins and seeds, and macerated for 3 months before going to barrel. The wine was then aged for more than 12 months in used French oak barrels.
