"This vivacious Vinhão from Vasco Croft's pioneering biodynamic estate captures the variety's wild fruit profile and tempers (but without taming) its high tannin and acid profile. Wonderfully pure sour wild cherry, bilberry and sloe fruit and notes of cherrystone and inky violets. Refined, touch sooty tannins and pingy, fresh acidity make for a long, lively finish. Macerated and foot-trodden in lagares, then fermented and lees-aged in stainless steel vats."
