Discover the grape variety: Arinto du Dâo
A very old variety known in Portugal and northwestern Spain (Galicia), but practically unknown elsewhere. In Greece, a variety bears the same name, so it could be the same variety. In Spain, however, we must discard the loureiro, whose synonym is arinto.

The wine region of Muscat de Mireval
Muscat de Mireval is a small appellation of SweetGolden natural wines made from the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains Grape variety. Mireval is a commune in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is located immediately northeast of the highly respected Frontignan appellation. However, its wines rarely receive the same attention as the other natural sweet wines of the region, such as Banyuls and Muscat de Rivesaltes.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc (formerly Coteaux du Languedoc) is a key appellation used in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region of southern France. It covers Dry table wines of all three colors (red, white and rosé) from the entire region, but leaves Sweet and Sparkling wines to other more specialized appellations. About 75% of all Languedoc wines are red, with the remaining 25% split roughly down the middle between whites and rosés. The appellation covers most of the Languedoc region and almost a third of all the vineyards in France.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
