Julia Harding, Jancis Robinson Tasting Notes
Wine craft combining contemporary cellar technology and a minimal intervention approach brought about by the natural wine movement in France 40 years ago. All wines are fermented spontaneously and without sulfites in order to preserve yeast diversity and to produce complex, organically balanced wines.
Grown in vineyards located on both sides of the Tagus river. Atlantic breezes moderated by the coastal mountain ranges of Sintra, Montejunto and Arrabida combined with long sunshine hours guarantee a long and steady ripening period. Read more
“Made with love…”, the epitome of our dedication and passion for every detail of the winemaking process relying on craftsmanship, collaboration with vintners, a responsible production mode, a friendly distribution network, …and grapes as well.
“Rich, ripe, inviting black fruits. Smooth, heart-warming and caressing without tasting overly alcoholic despite its 15%. Rounded if still gently chewy tannins. A winter warmer and definitely a food wine.” Julia Harding. Launched in 2024. Gold medal at the Portuguese Sommelier Association’s 2024 annual competition.
Handmade artisanal sparkling wine from Trincadeira grapes grown in a secluded vine garden within the walls of the Caparide priest seminar on the Estoril coast. Crisp, fruity and very elegant. Classical method with 14 months on the lies. Disgorgement à la volé. Hand corked.
DOP Carcavelos is the smallest fortified wine region of Portugal, little sister of Porto, Madeira and Setúbal. In 2024, we are launching our first ever DOP Carcavelos, a 2021 colheita made of Castelão grapes, red, open colored, long maceration, aged in oak, complex concentrated cherry and black fruit, spices, the perfect aperitif or desert companion.
Thomas Vaterlaus, Vinum
Moscatel Graúdo from the Setubal Peninsula fermented according to the so-called ancestral method whereby a wine is fermented almost to dry (almost all sugar consumed by yeasts) and then bottled to finish the fermentation inside the bottle. In its pure artisanal form, the wine is not disgorged and stays cloudy.
We love to employ old techniques to make new wines. Here, whole bunches of coastal vineyard Castelão grapes were fermented in 200 L clay amphorae. After pressing, the wine spent another 10 months in the amphora to age. The result is a stunningly vibrant wine with a delicious clean blackberry and spice aroma.
The cellar dog selection are beautifully fruit-driven, unpretentious red and white wines that accompany your daily meals, aperitifs and party events. These wines are made without oak contact, thus emphasizing their pure fruit character. Both are named after the winery’s pets, Lili the cellar dog, and Cookie the cellar rabbit, who are extended members of the team.
An exciting journey into the world of wine biochemistry made accessible through lively metaphors and explanations — for absolute novices and those who have seen it all. Tour lead by the winemaker, followed by a tasting flight of 5 premium wines made at the winery accompanied by fresh sour dough bread from a small neighborhood bakery, slowly cured Iberian pork presunto and artisanal sheep cheese from other family producers. Vegetarian on demand. Fri 16h30-18h30 & Sat, 11h-13h. Read more
