A very serious wine that has tons of acidity and clarity. There's a richness here that can come from only one thing: extensive lees stirring... And sure enough that's what they do. Very good wine that reminds me a bit of some burgundy. #portugalwine #lees#sisab — 6 years ago

I had no idea that Portugal did so many amphora aged wines! I've been really impressed with the quality of these whites; again no sulfites and unfiltered for the most part. They remind me of sicily and even a little bit of Jura. This bottle had a minty, basil thing going on with the nose. Really intriguing. #naturalwine #amphora #sisab #portugalwine — 6 years ago
