2020 Bojo do Luar Deu Bode, Vinho Verde, Portugal
$18.00
Field Blend of red (70%) and white (30%) grapes: Vinhao, bastardo, Espadeiro, Borraçal, Arinto, Loureiro, etc. Similar to our other popular wine Renegado but from Vinho Verde! The reds are very high in acid with a very short maceration of 5 days. Very simple, low-intervention, fermented with ground chestnut flowers to stabalize the process and 15g/l SO2 at bottling. This to me is a new category and class of wine that’s not red nor rosé, maybe it’s the old English “clairette” making a renaissance... who knows!
