March 6, 2021 - For me a wine to match with food rather than enjoy on its own. A slight fizz on the tongue and light in structure like a Pinot.

January 7, 2021 - Just a hint of smoky reduction, but that blows off quickly. Aromas of candied and fresh black and blue fruits, a little white flowers, and cooling herbs, as well as touches of contrasting creme brulee and petrichor. Super tart, but very smooth tannins (but not a lot of them), and tons of juicy dark fruit, so the acid doesn't end up being so marked. Exuberant and zippy, with intense pure fruit through the finish. This is so much fun and very delicious for me, but may be too acidic for some. Though it might become really interesting with time, and it will doubtless hold well for a few years, I would check up on it regularly.

December 20, 2020 - Deep ruby, impenetrable. High acidity gives a mouthwatering wine but not a sour/acidic wine. Tannins are perfectly balanced with the intensity of the fruit. Fresh with prickly sensation on the palate. Vinous with balance between red fruit character and freshness. Sour cherry, raspberry and fresh herbs dominate the nose while the palate offers hints of crushed wild berries and menthol. Honest & gastronomic.
Set in Portugal’s Vinho Verde region, the estate specialises in biodynamic winemaking. Fermentation with maceration of the skins and pip in granite / tanks at temperatures between 20 and 22º C. Foot treading / Pressing / Malolatic Fermentation in inox vats / Aging “sur lies”/ Filtration /
