(Douro, Portugal)
Tiago's trademark orange wine, and a best seller. Moscatel that spends four months on its skins and is bottled with zero additions. This is impressively clean, refined, and wildly intriguing. Fantastic aromatics, floral and tropical edges with a grapefruit burst. One of the freshest and most drinkable orange wines you will come across.
Made by Tiago Sampaio, a grower who took over his Grandparents' vineyards and 2007 and has progressively become one of Portugal's most sought after natural wine producers.
Aromas of rose petals, lychees and tangerine. Medium bodied palate with a chewy grapefruit core.
