Alpondras

€22.00

These grapes were sourced from a centenary vineyard located 100 meters from the right margin of the Tâmega river in the Trás-os-Montes region, near the town of Vidago. Here the traces of the past are everywhere. A two thousand year old roman bridge crossing the river nearby. Monasteries from the 11th and 12th century as well as traces of history from two hundred years of the Kingdom of the Suebi. A Germanic tribe who controlled Galiza and Northern Portugal (from the 5th to the 7th Century).

    Ora Bolas

    Ora Bolas

    €16.00

    Grapes are harvested by hand and upon arriving in the cellar are destemmed and moved to amphoras (talhas) to start fermentation and maceration. At this point ground chestnut flower is added (500mg per 1000kg) and mixed into the mass. The whole vinification process is very simple with very low intervention. The red grapes and 10% of Arinto had a five day maceration then pressed and moved to an amphora to ferment. The other 20% of Arinto was pressed and the must was moved to a stainless steel tank to ferment at 5ºC. After 27 days at this temperature, the residual sugar of the Arinto reached 17g/l, was then blended with the red wine and bottled for the fermentation to finish in the bottle.

      €14.00

      This wine is a co-fermentation of 20% white grapes (mainly Gouveio, Arinto, and Rabigato) and 80% red grapes (mainly Tinta Barroca picked from the coolest spot in the vineyard near a stream and lots of trees), that is done in old granite lagars without any temperature control. After only 4 days, the wine went to a vertical press and then aged in stainless steel tanks over the winter for a gravity-led bottling without any fining or filtration. The resulting wine is low in extraction, low in alcohol, and wildly expressive and aromatic

        Zimbro Cinco Marias

        Zimbro Cinco Marias

        €24.00

        A blend of five grape varieties, vinified in two different ways: in traditional lagares (traditional stone troughs) and in stainless steel. It was aged for 18 months in oak barrels. Very appealing in aroma, with ripe fruit but with extraction at just the right point to maintain balance.
