Phaunus Amphora Palhete Tinto

Description

This Phaunus Amphora Palhete is a delightfully unusual wine, clearly favoured by someone who appreciates a touch of the dramatic – sea and fire, you might say. The dry fermentation, conducted in clay amphorae coated with beeswax, delivers a wonderfully funky character, underpinned by saline herbs and a subtle hint of dried rose petals. There’s a beautiful, earthy complexity, with a whisper of smoked meat suggesting a very intimate relationship with the land. It’s a genuinely intriguing experience, showcasing the traditional Loureiro and Vinhão grapes in a captivating blend of sensations. Pairs brilliantly with grilled fish or a pork dish with a fruit compote.
