Discovery Pack: The Spectrum of Authenticity 6 Wines.

Description

6 Soulful Regions. An Unfiltered Journey.

This isn’t just a set of wines; it is a complete immersion into the minimal intervention movement in Portugal. We designed this pack for the curious oenophile who wants to travel through every shade of natural wine: from ancestral effervescence to the depth of skin contact, passing through Atlantic freshness and the elegance of living soils.

Here are six producers who refuse corrective chemistry to let nature speak. From Minho to Lisbon, passing through the Dão, this is proof that Portuguese wine is more alive than ever.

The Journey’s Composition:

1. The Celebration: Flui Pet Nat 2024 (Lisbon) We start with joy. Born from 75-year-old vines and the union of two restless winemakers (Rodrigo Filipe and Emanuel Frutuoso), this sparkling wine made by the ancestral method is pure fun. Without disgorgement, cloudy, and vibrant, it brings the energy of ancient white grapes from Lisbon in a light and uncomplicated profile.

2. The “Naked” White: João Tavares de Pina Euforia 2022 (Dão) We climb to the altitude of Penalva do Castelo. Tavares de Pina delivers a Bical and Cerceal white that is pure mineral tension. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in chestnut barrels, it is a wine stripped of artifices, where the Dão granite dictates the rules. Electric and floral.

3. The Orange Experience: Penhó Verbum Trajadura 2022 (Vinho Verde) To challenge the palate, an “Orange Wine” of tiny production (only 1,200 bottles). Ricardo Moreira rescues tradition in Minho, macerating the Trajadura grape on its skins inside granite lagares. The result? Texture, grip, and complexity. A white wine that drinks like a red.

4. The Atlantic Rosé: Safado 2022 (Lisbon) Forget sweet rosés. This is a wine of the sea. Emanuel Frutuoso created a serious Tinta Roriz rosé, fermented in used wood. Dry, saline, and structured, it is the liquid expression of a vineyard breathing the ocean breeze.

5. The Urban Red: Adega Belém Senhor Rita 2021 (Lisbon) From Lisbon’s first urban winery comes an elegant and fresh Castelão. The duo Moreira & Picard proves it is possible to make fine wines in the city. With long aging in neutral oak, it reveals the most sophisticated and earthy face of the south’s queen grape.

6. The Cult Classic: Serradinha Tinto Baga 2019 (Lisbon/Leiria) We close with a wine for the cellar. António Marques da Cruz is a reference in historical natural wines. This Baga, aged for 22 months in 600L barrels, shows that minimal intervention also creates deep, serious wines capable of challenging time.
