Tasting Note: Fermented with chestnut flowers, this lively orange wine is a low intervention blend of Avesso and Arinto. It has great mineral acidity combined with some tannins. A complex combination of lemon zest, artichoke and lively stone fruit notes. A perfect, high-toned wine you can dance with all night long!

About the Estate: The Bojo do Luar project came to life during a trip Savio made to the Vinho Verde region. Here he met Fernando Paiva, a biodynamic producer who has been experimenting with adding ground chestnut flowers to the grapes and must before fermentation began. Meanwhile, he’s halted using SO2 altogether since 2017.
Fernando is a regional reference for non-interventionist winemaking. He was the first Portuguese producer to acquire the DEMETER certification and through him Savio met another producer, Antonio Sousa, who practiced biodynamic viticulture, but still used traditional and conventional winemaking methods in the cellar.
