The Estate

Savio was undeterred and saw this as an opportunity: to use the traditional autochthonous varietals of Northern Portugal, and apply his knowledge and experience of many decades working with French producers, mainly in Burgundy and Loire.

Wine Making

A low-intervention blend of field blend of 70% red varietals and 30% white varietals grown on granitic soils and hand-harvested in early October. The Vinhāo and Borraçal are macerated for five days, followed by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel with all varietals.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, and poultry dishes.
