Product description
Machine-harvested. A ‘natural’ wine bottled unfiltered, without temperature control, additions, corrections, or stabilization. Fermented in impermeable clay pots (Talha) with extended skin contact, sealed with olive oil to prevent oxidation. Intense aromas of ripe pear, peach, honey, earthy, and mineral notes with subtle quince and warm ginger spice. Full-bodied with a lovely texture and a fresh finish.
Dusty, herbal, scented. Grapefruit pith, finely aromatic. Cedary, woody flavour with pear on the finish. That cedar is (for me) a Vidigueira character rather than a varietal one, perhaps related to the cooler local climate and the granite soils here. Long, stony, dry, refined. Great tension and intensity from start to finish, even with such low alcohol. 17/20 Points.
