Aphros Melissae Biologico Branco

Description

This Aphros Melissae Biologico is a truly intriguing Loureiro, embodying the spirit of Vinho Verde. Following careful hand-harvesting, it underwent partial délestage – clearly aiming for a remarkably calm final wine. The stainless steel fermentation was likely chosen to retain the freshness of the Loureiro grape, and the manual pressing indicates a deep respect for its delicate character. But the real surprise? A three-month aging process in eggs – a wonderfully old-school technique that promises a touch of minerality and a brilliantly vibrant acidity. It’s a wonderfully uncomplicated wine, perfect with grilled fish and a squeeze of lemon.
