2022 Vinho Verde

So a Portuguese winemaker, a Spanish artist and an Australian interloper walk into a bar........ Well, not quite like that but it would have been a great way to start!

A blend of Louriero (80%) and Trajadura (20%), it's a wine that is just bursting out of the bottle. Low in alcohol and bottled with the slightest tingle of Co2 it's outrageously refreshing. Good luck stopping at just one glass....... - Astronoma, Importer.
