"Vibrant Refreshment: Arca Nova Rosé - A Vinho Verde Marvel"
History and Pedigree:
Quinta das Arcas, a beacon of innovation and quality in the Vinho Verde region, was established in the early 1980s by Esteves Monteiro. The foundation was laid through rigorous vineyard restructuring and modern agricultural practices initiated a decade prior. Esteves Monteiro's vision brought the first Arca Nova wines to market, setting a precedent for excellence. Over the years, the winery has committed to quality and environmental stewardship, producing its first certified organic wine in 2012. Expanding to the Alentejo region underlines the winery's ambition and dedication to crafting superior wines across Portugal's diverse terroirs.

Arca Nova Rosé is a distinctive expression of the Vinho Verde region, crafted from a blend of Espadeiro and Touriga Nacional grape varieties. This rosé introduces a new concept to the category, marrying the lively red fruit and berry aromas with Vinho Verde's hallmark freshness and vivacity. Overseen by winemakers Fernando Machado and Henrique Lopes, the wine undergoes meticulous production processes to ensure a balance of alcohol and acidity, complemented by a subtle effervescence that accentuates its freshness.
