A complementary combination of Padeiro and Vinhao, two expressive red varieties from this most amazing region. No extraction needed to get colour and fruit from Vinhao and Padeiro brings acidity and aromatics. Wild ferment and minimal sulfur additions to control the fizz but otherwise all very low intervention and sustainable. Lots of bright, zesty citrus and stone fruit, with white floral aromatics. Bready lees notes and minerality give texture and a little weight to the palate.
An easy-going, very drinkable, fun fizz! A perfect aperitif, but with enough to pair with light dishes too.
Quinta da Raza was established by Diogo's forebears in 1791, and today he and Mafalda have 40 hectares of prime vineyard, in the sub region of Celorico do Basto. This is southern Vinho Verde, not too far from the lower reaches of the Douro, and in sheltered uplands at around 250m, with distinct soils. Their classic Vinho Verde is utterly delicious, with fruit quality shining through, whilst varietal offerings are denser, but still with freshness and lightness of touch.
