Quinta da Romeyra

Quinta da Romeyra is a leading estate of Bucelas, the tiny, historic appellation just north of Lisbon devoted to the Arinto grape. The quinta has been instrumental in reviving this once-celebrated region, whose crisp whites were prized across Europe centuries ago. The vineyards sit on limestone-clay slopes cooled by Atlantic breezes, ideal conditions for Arinto to retain its razor-sharp acidity and mineral bite. Careful, modern winemaking preserves the grape purity and translucent sense of place. The range runs from the fresh, zesty Prova Regia to the barrel-aged, single-vineyard Morgado de Santa Catherina and a vibrant traditional-method sparkling, each a distinctive expression of Bucelas Arinto. Crisp, mineral and thoroughly individual, Quinta da Romeyra offers some of Portugal most food-friendly and characterful whites, a rediscovered classic worth seeking out.
