ASIAN FOOD PAIRING
Grape Varietals & Region: a blend of Trincadeira & Castelão from Alentejo, Portugal. In the heart of Vidigueira, at the southern foot of the Serra do Mendro, in schist soils with a sandy loam and loamy loam texture, the unrigged vines that gave rise to this wine are planted.
Taste Profile: Open cherry red, the color has crystalline halo. The aromas of wild berries and forest floor in harmony with vegetable notes, translate into reactive acidity, with a creamy and elegant texture in the palate. Freshness and delicacy with complexity
Winemaking Process: The traditional grape varieties, mainly Trincadeira and Castelão, were hand-picked and trodden by foot for 2 days. When fermentation began spontaneously, the grapes were pressed and the must was kept in unlined 19th century clay jars until the end of alcoholic fermentation. The 12-month aging period was carried out in century-old Portuguese oak and chestnut barrels.

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
