Chasing Harvest ‘Via Rock and Stone’ Tinto Douro DOC
This wine is sourced from wines 50 - 60 year old vines from the single Quinta da Costa vineyard. A careful determination was made to harvest select sections of Touriga Nacional (31%), Tinta Roriz (39%), and Touriga Franca (30%). The wine fermented naturally in a traditional stone lagar and treaded by foot.
The wine was then aged in a combination of neutral barrel and stainless steel tank to preserve varietal and Douro character. ‘Via Rock and Stone’ reflects the two defining features of this wine, the vines grow in schist rock soil and then is fermented in a traditional granite stone lager. The wine expresses aromas of dark fruits, blackberries and violets with richness, good acidity and a lingering finish.

Chasing Harvest Douro Branco
Although, ports have been made for centuries in the region, a focus on quality dry wines is rather recent. Some small vineyards hidden in the Douro’s mountain villages perhaps not appropriate for ports can be undiscovered treasures for these non-fortified white wines. We believe we were lucky to find a couple of these hidden treasures for this wine.
Again, made with our good friend Henrique Cizeron and hand harvested largely by ourselves we are very pleased with the results.
This barrel fermented white blend expresses citrus and stone fruit aromas, minerality, and a creamy texture with an elegant finish.

Pavão Branco Vinho Verde
This crisp and fragrant white blend from the north of Portugal is not far from Spain’s Rias Baixas known and loved as the land of crisp Albariño. The cooler wet Região Vinhos Verdes is just south across the Minho River and while they allow Albariño in their blends (under the Portuguese Alvarihno) this punchy glass of pure refreshment is a traditional blend of Loureiro, Trajadura and Pedernã which come together like a dry and quenching like limeade made all the better by a chalky minerality and a sour patch acidity that clips off clean and snappy and beckons the next sip. With this sort of structure it goes without saying this has a charming affinity for food from the Iberian coastal fare with which it’s familiar to the Asian spices with which it carries on so well. This is an outstanding glass of crisp, white, northwestern Portuguese goodness for goodness sake. Drink it and lots of it because it inspires cheer and being chipper.
