Bojo do Luar - Doralice

The Bojo do Luar project came to life during a trip Savio Soares made to vineyards near the Tamego River. Here he met Fernando Paiva, an innovative biodynamic wine producer making wines with minimal sulfites and adding ground chestnut flowers to tanks before fermentation. With Fernando's winemaking experience and openness to experiment using a non-intervention approach in the cellar, the Bojo do Luar wines quickly took shape. Not only were the results promising, but the wines easily became popular. The region has a mostly cool temperate climate throughout Spring, followed by hot days and cool nights until the September harvest. Each variety is vinified separately with minimal intervention. 

Bojo do Luar Deu Doralice is 100% Loureiro fermented in concrete and stainless steel. The wine spends eight weeks macerating with 10% whole clusters and chestnut flowers. Unfiltered. Consider this a gentle type of orange wine meaning that the tannins are subtle, the color less in the amber direction and the palate is fresh.
