Bojo do Luar Deu Bode Vinho Verde Tinto 2020

'Deu Bode' is a field blend of 70% red and 30% white grapes, all native varieties including Vinhao, Bastardo (Trousseau), Borracal, Arinto, and Loureiro. All were chosen for their naturally high acidity and macerated for only 5 days in order to retain that fresh quality. Dark in color yet very light on its feet this rides the line between red and rose.

A generously perfumed nose of candied dark fruit, sweet berry, and spice leads into a palate that takes a sharp turn into bright, juicy, and mouthwatering. Tart wild raspberry, fresh-picked blackberry, and cherry meld with electrifying acidity on a light-bodied frame with just a hint of tannin and a whisper of violets on the finish. Very versatile with food, this is life-affirming with some Moroccan lamb kabobs.
