Perfect late fresh orange bubbly. Herbaceous aromatics on the nose, bold citrus fruit, yellow flowers, grapefruit lemonade spritz, bright acidity keeps this fruit forward pet nat from seeming sweet.
Grapes were placed on 20kg boxes and taken to Bojo do Luar cellar, 7km away, by a small pickup truck, in which only 38 boxes could fit at a time. Hence, the inspiration for the name of the wine. Upon arrival, the grapes were destemmed and moved into "ta/has" (100-yearold, 1.l00L amphoras) and stomped by foot. To each amphora, 1kg of ground chestnut flowers was added and immediately mixed into the mass. Before fermentation was completed, with around 15g/l of residual sugar left, the mass was pressed and the wine was bottled, unfiltered with no added S02.
