Aphros 2020 Phaunus Palhete [6/750]

This homage to a lost ancestral style is the result of white and black grapes (mostly Loureiro and Vinhão) co-fermented in beeswax-lined amphorae. Reminiscent of Trollinger in its limpid hue, it exemplifies the virtues of the new style : slender, salty and silky. And just plain delicious!
