The variety is noted for it’s ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions. Arinto is one of the few white varieties that can maintain it’s natural acidity during long hot summers resulting in beautifully fresh vibrant wines. Having spent some quality time in Portugal “researching” different varieties and styles, Arinto was a clear stand-out. In addition to the beautiful, fresh, crisp dry-white styles we discovered these amazing fortifieds. Stylistically so different to the traditional very sweet, aged fortitified wines we were accustomed to in Australia. Hence our Sly Fox was born!
