Food wine. Likes lots of air. A good jostle and not too cold really brings this out.
A protein ( in this case cold poached salmon) really makes this wine stretch out. Tangerines and honey on the nose, dried oranges and salt on the palate. The fish w lime, soy, and ginger really developed a broad palate and long finish.
Lots of weird varietals , all bush grown, I believe foot trod, then 1/2 in neutral French oak. I believe the other 1/2 cement. Some tasters say grippy tannins. I get plenty of acid and salt. Fino and Manzanilla fans should dig it. “A field blend of indigenous white varieties from two small centenarian vineyards at around 500-600 meters of elevation. The grapes were foot trodden in lagar and allowed to ferment on the skins. The wine was then aged for 9 months in a combination of concrete and 225L used french oak. “

A Lagar is a concrete trough used in Portugal for crushing grapes.
Thanks @chambersstwines.

Day 2 possibly richer, saltier. Perfect foil for cold fried chicken.

Especial esse vinho de vinhas velhas do Alentejo e estagiado em cuba de cimento. Equilibrado, de final persistente, com predominância mineral em boca, com um fundo de especiarias e nota cítrica. — 6 years ago

Very light color, like strawberries. Nose of flowers and a hint of spices. Low octane, fresh, balanced and truly amiable with food or by itself. Really good stuff at very accessible price. Excellent QPR. — 3 years ago

Smoky skin-contact (orange? Very light color) wine from a blend of white varietals such as Formosa Dourada, Vale Grosso, Manteúdo and others yet unidentified from 100+ year-old vines. Aged in old oak barrels for 12 months. Delicious — 7 years ago
