100% Azal
This is a rare and unique grape variety from the southeastern Vinho Verde region in Portugal. It is comparable to Chenin (Savennières) and Petit Manseng (Jurançon). There's been very few wines produced from this grape variety. It is hard to find and easy to fall in love with.
The grapes for this Pet Nat were fermented with skin-contact at a lower temperature (10ºC) in large format amphorae (1000L-1500L) for four weeks. Before the fermentation ended the mass was pressed and bottled (unfiltered) with around 15mg of residual sugar to finish the fermentation in the bottle. 25ml of SO2 was added at bottling.
