“Nobody can do things fast and well” – a wise, old Portuguese saying. So fast is the enemy of good.
Slow food and slow wine are magical phrases from my taste in living.
Slow wine is similar to slow food but a little more complex: It also takes time to make, but it needs more time to give a harmonious taste and even more time to show off its quality to the full.
What I want is to make pure slow wines, those that your drink five or six years after harvesting and that you admire in the decades to come. Apart from slow wines, my wines (of minimalist oenology), must always privilege the character of perfection, because soulless perfection or perfection without character makes wine, like people, tiring.

Made from multiple ancient varietals present on a very old vineyard located at the outskirts of the Reguengo village, in Serra de S. Mamede (the unique mountain above 1000 meters’ altitude in the South of Portugal). The vineyard faces eastward, at an altitude of 598 meters, and the soil is granitic (Ordovician).
Yields are very low. We cannot indicate any variety dominance. There are about 14 different varieties from a mass selection made until the early twentieth century.

Manual harvest. Crushed, pressed and must decanted. Spontaneous fermentation and aged for 15 months in used oak barrel. With malolactic. Bottled without fining.
