Blending is an important aspect of winemaking that involves combining different grape varieties or wines to create a unique and complex final product.

Arinto, a native Portuguese grape with high acidity and a range of citrus and mineral flavors, is one grape variety that is commonly used in blending. Arinto is frequently blended with other grapes, such as Sercial and Rabo de Ovelha, to produce a wine with the ideal balance of acidity, fruitiness, and complexity.

The winemaker must carefully select the grape varieties, determine the best blend, and apply their knowledge to create a harmonious and balanced wine. Blending is a science as well as a creative process that allows winemakers to express their individual style and vision in each unique blend they create.
