Clarete 2024

Clarete 2024 - Adaptations to a hard vintage, wonderful result!

As always the clarete is our take on the local "vinho caseiro", house wine. Every one in the village makes a lightish red wine for their consumption. Field blend, with about 25-30% white and grey grapes in the mix. Foot-trodden in a 300 years old lagar, fermented in used oak barrels.
