Quinta de Arcossó
Quinta de Arcossó sits in Trás-os-Montes, the remote northeastern corner of Portugal's Transmontano region. The winery works with indigenous varieties suited to this continental climate: Fernão Pires and Arinto de Bucelas for whites, Tinta Amarela and Tinta Roriz for reds. The Reserva Branco blends the region's signature white grapes into a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator. The Padrão dos Povos Tinto pairs the darker, structured varieties native to northern Portugal. Both wines reflect the terroir of Trás-os-Montes—a landscape of altitude and continental extremes that shapes the character of its fruit. The winery's focus on these traditional Portuguese varieties offers a direct expression of a region rarely encountered outside its borders.
