<p>Like drinking Portugal in a bottle. Smooth and refreshing, with fruity and spicy aromas on the nose, along with a subtle mineral note. Light on the palate, with flavors of cherries, grapefruit, and a touch of spice. This wine stands out for its vibrant acidity and well-balanced structure. Fermented with native yeasts and aged for 10 months on its fine lees. It drinks beautifully now but we expect it to evolve even better in the next 2-3 years. </p><p>Tiago Teles returned to his roots in the Bairrada region after years of exploring various terroirs across Portugal. In 2012, he set out to fulfill his dream and, after a long search for the perfect vineyard, he and his father began cultivating small hillside plots in São Mateus.</p><p>For Tiago, the choice of grape varieties has always been secondary; they should serve the wine, not dictate it. Guided by this philosophy, he vinifies the grapes with a low intervention approach, opting for spontaneous fermentations and only adding minimal sulphurs to reserve the smooth texture and the dynamic energy of the wine.</p><p>Origin: Beiras, PortugalVintage: 2022Grape varieties: 90% Alfrocheiro, 10% BicalFood pairings: Aperitif, Charcuterie, Soft cheeses, Red meat, Rice dishesBottle size: 75clABV: 13%</p><p>ORGANIC / NATURAL / VEGAN</p>
