Pale like Poulsard and scented like Syrah, this new wine from Aphros meets the challenge of making something both original and haunting from a variety usually consigned to a blending role. Vasco sourced clonal material of this relatively scarce grape (also known as Brancellão) throughout the region eight years before this inaugural vintage. Pale in colour, despite a month of skin contact, and sporting just 11% alcohol (as is now the wont at this address), it has surprising depth of flavour.
