2023 Conta-Me Vinho Verde Rose....$12.99 / Liter bottle
Grapes: Espadeiro, Amaral & Vinhão
Fresh and lively rose!
Alc: 10%
For the 2023 vintage of Conta-Me Vinho Verde Rosé we went to Barcelos - a region within the renowned Vinho Verde DOC - where we worked with one of the area's most old-school producers to make a wine that made us happy. This blend of the driest red grapes of the region has a rhubarb meets grapefruit nose, with passionfruit on the palate and a dry finish, a bit of spritz, and a lot of acidity to keep us satiated. Though this is vinho verde in its true essence, we also feel that Conta-Me VV is a grown up version of what most know the region for. After careful selection of the grapes varieties of the region, the grapes were harvested and vinified using the most modern technology, destemmed, lightly pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel vats.

2023 Conta-Me Vinho Verde White....$12.99 / Liter bottle
The 2023 vintage of Conta-Me Vinho Verde White comes from Barcelos - a region within the renowned Vinho Verde DOC. This 100% Loureiro has the aromatics to swoon over with a dry finish, a bit of spritz, and a lot of acidity to keep us satiated. This great Vinho Verde shows why white wines from this region are so famous. This liter-sized Conta-Me is designed for sharing, but with crisp citrus you might want to keep it to yourself. Sustainable viticulture. The grapes are destemmed and very lightly pressed to keep their freshness. Aged in stainless steal vats, no oak. Very fresh and lively.
