Encruzado Sparkling Wine
Classical Method | Brut Nature
Handmade classical method sparkling wine from Encruzado grapes grown in the hillside of the Monsanto mountains at the Western edge of Lisbon. Disgorgement à la volé, hand corked and labeled in our cellar in Belém. Delicious citric aroma, fine perlage and the best blob for the 2021 festivities made in town.
Unicórnio Graúdo 2020
Capricious, wild, untamed. Liquid embodiment of the eternal dream of an authentic nature. Fetish animal of the 2015 generation. Name of our most outstanding vintages. The 2020 late harvest Moscatel Graúdo from the Arrabida Hills next to Palmela. Destemmed and whole-berry fermented with no additives. Spontaneous fermentation. One half in 180L clay amphoraes, the other half in a 225L French oak barrel. Long maceration.
Made with love and grapes as well
Our grapes are grown in the Atlantic and Mediterranean climates of Lisbon’s Monsanto foothills (Tapada da Ajuda, ISA, University of Lisbon), in the valley of Caparide in São Pedro de Estoril, on the banks of the Alenquer River in the village of Bemposta, and in the Arrabida Mountains next to Palmela
To get the best out of each grape, we combine contemporary cellar technology with low-intervention methods of spontaneous fermentation, on-skin maceration and barrel aging.
The result are wines with strong, distinct personalities, complex architecture, filigrane structure, multilayered aromas and an intensive bright aspect.

About us
Frogs + Ethnography = Wine
Before becoming winemakers, Catarina was a biologist studying the mating calls (“quak quak”) of the Iberian tree frog and David an anthropologist doing ethnography in the Western Indian Ocean. Through her research, Catarina found that female frogs generally respond to males who call in the local frog-dialect.
Only in some rare cases, females fall for the unique spell of a peculiar foreign male passing by their pond, and love happens. That’s kind of our story. And that’s why the Iberian tree frog is our logo. ♥
