The 2021 PSI is 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha sourced from old vines planted in calcareous soils and was aged for up to 16 months in mostly sizeable French oak barrels. In the glass, it's garnet-red with a light purple sheen. The nose offers blood note...
From the Monção e Melgaço sub-region of northern Portugal, the natural home of the alvarinho grape, and made by one of its finest producers, who uses a little skin contact (hence the name) to give structure to this invigorating linear dinner-table white.
MANHATTAN BERRY is sophisticated with a mix of blackberries, pear shrub, with the dominant linger of ginger.
The pomegranate juice and caffeine-free tea provides natural tannins, while the organic agave rounds it out with a balanced sweetness. The chili peppers provide a smoky lingering taste that leaves you wanting more. Perfect as is, on the rocks, with a splash of soda or as a cocktail base.
