Pormenor - Ginga, Douro, Portugal (2023)

TASTING NOTES

Chillable, fun and slightly crunchy! A drinkable wine to be shared amongst friends. Juicy fresh berries and a great acidity to keep it lively. 

Formerly bottled under the NatCool brand, this is a whole bunch, carbonic maceration light wine. Briefly aged in stainless steel. 

Pormenor Vinhos is the dream of owner and winemaker, Pedro Coelho to free himself from the bounds of tradition in the Douro Valley. Pormenor translates to “details” and launched with the 2013 vintage rooted in a fierce belief of what Pedro did not want from his wines: high alcohol, extraction, new oak.

With vines ranging from 45 to 100+ years primarily in the Douro Superior, he has found and secured incredibly rare vineyard material. Another important detail is high elevation vineyards which help combat the natural heat of the valley. He works with indigenous varietals only and fermentation is done through native, wild yeasts.
