A testament to the revival of traditional Portuguese cidermaking, born from a deep-rooted commitment to discovering and preserving forgotten apple varieties across the Minho and Douro regions. This cider is crafted exclusively from regional, unsprayed fruit sourced from family orchards, forest edges, and historic hedgerows. By focusing on these unique, uncultivated varieties, the project aims to define the authentic character of the local terroir rather than striving for industrial standardization.
The production process is intentionally rustic and honors the natural rhythms of the seasons. Cidermaking begins in late summer and continues through the winter, using the cellar's ambient cold to ensure a slow, natural fermentation. Every bottle reflects the harvest's variability, capturing the land's honest expression. The result is a naturally fermented, dry cider that showcases a complex profile, often featuring deep apple aromas, waxy notes, and a persistent, fine carbonation.
On the palate, Omnia #1 is celebrated for its balance of tannic structure and bright acidity, often accompanied by a light, nuanced sweetness. It is a full-bodied yet remarkably refreshing drink that demonstrates the potential of Portuguese cider as a serious, artisanal product. This cider is meant to be enjoyed for its authenticity and delicate complexity, serving as an ideal companion for those who appreciate natural, low-intervention beverages that tell the story of their origin.
