🦆New wine has landed 🦆

From Bairrada Icon, Luis Pato comes the Quinta da Ribeirinho Pe Franco 2015. This is Pato's tribute to Baga 🍇.

The philosophy for the wine was born in
1988 when Luis decided to plant ungrafted vines in sandy soils, leaving only one bunch per vine to achieve a natural concentration.

This wine was destemmed and fermented in wooden vats for 10 to 12 days the aged in 500 liter new French oak for 24 months and unfiltered.

Aromas of raspberry, vanilla, black plum, violet and eucalyptus leap from the glass.
Full bodied with incredible structure and acidity, good fruit concentration but never fruity, coats the mouth like velvet and finishes with fine tannins. Definitely a wine for the cellar that can age for the next 10 to 20 years.

Rated 97 points by Wine Advocate 🍷
Available in very limited quantities in wooden cases of 3 bottles.
$237 per bottle tax included

💚 New wine release from Mr Alvarinho Muros Antigos escolha 2020. $19.41 per bottle all in.
A great value vinho verde made in a serious dry and intriguing style.

Rated 89 points by Wine Advocate
The 2020 Muros Antigos Escolha is a blend of 40% Loureiro, 40% Avesso and 20% Alvarinho, unoaked and coming in at 12% alcohol, plus 1.5 grams of residual sugar and 6.2 grams of total acidity. Solid in the mid-palate and reasonably fresh, this is a Vinho Verde that goes for something more than just zest on the finish. There's ample acidity, but this also excels with concentration, perfect balance and rich texture. It's lovely overall and a bargain.
