Region: Portugal> Vinho Verde> Felgueiras.
Notes: Biodynamic farming, spontaneous fermentation, no added sulfites.
Description: Fernando Paiva, a biodynamic producer who has been experimenting with adding ground chestnut flowers to the grapes and must before fermentation began as a natural stabilizer. Meanwhile he has halted using SO2 (added sulfites) all together since 2017. A bright, zesty pét-nat made from 100% Loureiro, offering vibrant aromas of candied kumquat, crystallized ginger, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it delivers crisp notes of sour pineapple, baked apple, grapefruit, and pear, with a hint of cream and earthy minerality from amphora aging.
