Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Ninety per cent Negreda, a variety almost nobody knows outside Trás-os-Montes, with some Uva de Rei and Muscat among it. All in steel with indigenous yeasts only, and the ageing happens in steel as well. This is therefore one of the purest ways to meet an indigenous Portuguese variety: no wood, no correction, thirteen degrees.
