PƩt-Nat RosƩ
80% Espadeiro, 20% Loureiro
Organic, indigenous grapes, spontaneous ferment w ground chestnut flowers
Grapes sourced from Rui Paiva (Fernando Paivaās nephew)
Vinho Verde, Portugal
Orange sunset rose with fluffy pinky-white head and fine bubbles. Scents float up of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, red currant, lemon squeeze, a light scent of Froot Loops that fades in & out, and as it opens more thereās blackberries & plums with a touch of bramble. First taste starts off with a zing, cherries, raspberries, SweeTARTS, red currants, a little gooseberry, and young strawberry. Just crisp, dry and joyful.
Pairs with Cheez-Its: absolutely perfect pairing of yum
Hereās another natural beauty from Savio Soares & team. As with all the past bottles Iāve tried, Iām always so glad years ago he met Fernando Paiva, who was already working bio (in fact 1st Portuguese winemaker to be fully biodynamic certified by Demeter) & adding in that special touch of chestnut flowers. This time around the indigenous grapes are sourced from Paivaās nephew, Rui, who was also joined in the fields by his dad (80 yrs old) & his nephew for the harvest, so it was a family affair. This leads me to wonder, about the name āLuizaā. Who is this person that inspired the label? Is it a family member or a current or past loveā¦or am I as usual overthinking something that I should just be enjoying? Ok that settles it, pour me another glass andĀ Iāll leave this a mystery for tomorrow (or as the song says āDemain demainā) unless someone wants to let me in on the secret today.
