A juicy, cloudy pét nat, with flavors of cantaloupe melon and grapefruit, and a refreshing acidity. This wine makes a great apéritif!
Vinho Verde is in the cool, verdant northwest of Portugal, which has a strong influence from the Atlantic ocean. The Loureiro for this wine is grown in the subregion Ponte de Lima. Soils are granitic and free draining; altitude is close to sea level.
Márcio farms 5ha sustainably, and also buys grapes from selected growers that practice sustainable viticulture without the use of herbicides.
The grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless-steel tanks using natural yeasts. Before fermentation is complete the wine is bottled under crown cap to finish fermentation in bottle in the ancestral style. The wine isn’t filtered, and there are no sulphur additions. Suitable for vegans.
