Quinta do Santiago Vinho Verde

SIZE: 750ml

Sometimes a little provocation can create an entirely new reality, as in the case of Quinta do Santiago. A short while before Grand Cru was combing northern Portugal, the wildly energetic Joana Santiago took up the challenge from her Grandmother: to take their humble farm, which was only selling grapes to the local co-op, and present it’s unique soul to a wider world by bottling wines embossed the family name.

There is nothing complicated about this wine, or is there?  It is absolutely classic Vno Verde with its freshness and fruit forwardness.  But on the palate there is a touch of weight and elegance that makes you question the true potential of this tiny region in Portugal.
