2012 Aphros Loureiro Bruto Reserva Espumante Sub-Região Lima, Vinho Verde DOC

“A spray of minerals and herbs and fruit…”
“A pétillant-naturel Loureiro with no yeast or sugar addition…”
“A curious mélange: sharp and briny but savory, too…”
“Substantial but delicate; evocative of field flowers and straw…”
“White and red grapes fermented in beeswax-lined amphora…”
“Bloody enough, with rare meat and roses…”
Full disclosure: I love dry sparkling red wines. When they’re made out of a red autochthonous grape, in this case Vinhão, how can I resist?…
“A demure pet-nat rosé of Vinhão…”
“Green-fruit inflected but satiny, too…”
