Have you heard of Six?! Six is a broadway musical that allows the 6 ex-wives of Henry VIII to tell their stories, through a fun and flirty battle of popstars. Some are beheaded, some divorced, but each Tudor queen (turned pop star) is inspired by modern day divas like Rihanna, Adele, and Alicia Keys through her costume and music. We’ve honestly been playing their sassy anthems on repeat since we discovered the show.
We’re pairing the soundtrack with a female-produced Portuguese Arinto. Ever heard of this grape? It’s an indigenous grape to Portugal that produces age-worthy, bright white wines that pair well with the rich seafood dishes popular in the region. Quinta de Chocapalha Arinto ($18) is vivid, mineral, and packs a citrus punch.
Quinta de Chocapalha is a family business just north of Lisbon, Portugal. In 1987, Alice and Paulo Tavares da Silva embarked on a journey to replant and regraft vines on their estate that dates back to the 16th century. The youngest daughter, Sandra Tavares da Silva, is their chief winemaker slash wine diva today! In addition to making the wine at her family’s estate, Sandra is the lead winemaker for Wine & Soul, which she founded and owns with her husband Jorge Serôdio Borges in the Duoro, best known as the birthplace of Port.
Give this wine a try while you give Six a listen… and don’t lose ur head!
