Amphora Aged. Rustic would be putting it mildly. Super interesting, and perhaps a glimpse into what some whites perhaps used to taste like. Almost a sherry-like quality to it (oxidation?). Super dry. Worth a try if a bit on the nerdy side.

Mineral tasting. Little to no sweetness. I'm fascinated by the process of how amphora wine is made with clay so would like to try more and compare.

Light to medium body Portuguese red blend with bright acidity and red fruit. Great value and easy drinking.
