Despite 2022 being a notably warm and dry vintage across Portugal, winemaker Hamilton Reis expertly crafted a wine that retains remarkable freshness and reactive acidity, rather than simply plump fruit. This distinctive character is born from Vidigueira's unique terroir, nestled in the southern foothills of Serra do Mendro, where schist soils and significant diurnal temperature shifts contribute to the grapes' balance. Natus Vini embraces a philosophy of organic viticulture and minimal intervention, utilizing traditional foot-treading and fermentation in 19th-century clay amphorae (Talhas), followed by 12 months in centenary Portuguese oak and chestnut barrels. This commitment to heritage and authenticity allows the Natus Tinto to express the elegance and vibrancy of Alentejo that reflects both its origins and the subtle influence of a challenging growing season.","brand":"Grossberg Kopman Selxns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830813774072,"sku":"18519","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_2465.jpg?v=1757602133"},{"product_id":"2024-lagar-pedregales-floracion-albarino","title":"2024 Lagar Pedregales, La Floracion Albarino","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis stunning Albariño has just landed from Lagar Pedregales In O Rosal, Rías Baixas.
