Translating as ‘Touriga in the nude’, this is 100% Touriga Nacional grapes; unoaked to allow an abundudance of bright red fruits to shine – raspberry and redcurrant dominate the nose and palate. This is a big, bold and complex wine that is utterly delicious.

The local village’s tradition of making chalk drawings on people’s houses to celebrate Epiphany are the inspiration of many of the bottle labels.
Ultra low intervention expression of a once common variety. Castelao brings real crunch and zip of fresh berry fruit, with a slightly sour, red cherry acidity, wrapped in an earthy blanket. Drink with charcuterie and any pork dishes. It works great chilled as well!
Soalheiro Granit Alvarinho
The Soalheiro Granit is all about minerality. It offers less fruit and more acidity, revealing an unusual style of Alvarinho from the mountains. Its elegance and crisp texture make this a great foodie wine.
Made from Alvarinho grapes from a specific selection of small vineyards planted in granitic soil. These vineyards lie at around 400 meters in altitude in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço.
