Bojo Do Luar, Vinho Tinto, Deu Pinote, 2020, 750 ml
A refreshing and electric blend of red and white grapes from the Vinho Verde region of Portugal. Think of a more mineral driven Beaujolais, with tart red fruit and violets on the nose. Delicious. Read more
COUNTRY: Portugal
REGION: Vinho Verde
VARIETIES: Equal parts of Azal (W), Baga(R), Bastardo (R) and Vinhão (R)
VINTAGE: 2020
FARMING: Organic, Natural
WINEMAKING: Each variety is vinified separately and then blended in February: the Azal was directly pressed with no skin contact; the Baga was macerated for three weeks, completes malolactic fermentation and spends 8 months in oak; the Bastardo was done with carbonic maceration for three weeks and completes malolactic fermentation, and the Vinhāo is kept on skins for one week with no malolactic fermentation occurring. Everything is done in stainless steel with spontaneous fermentation and one pound of ground chestnut flowers that help stabilizes the process. A lip-smacking red wine, filled with bright red fruits and violets that’s super refreshing! An unfiltered and chillable red! It has the same color as Cambon Beaujolais, think of it as somewhere between Beaujolais and Irancy in style
ABV: 12.5%
