Quintas do Homem, Quinta do Homem, Loureiro Pet-Nat, Vinho Verde, Portugal

Nuno and his father, Antonio work their two vineyards dedicated mostly to Loureiro and Arinto close to the river Homem where the estate gained its name. They're dedicated to sustainable practices, preserving natural resources and minimal intervention or use of chemicals except when necessary. Their long term winemaker and adopted family member, Ana shares their passion in order to craft pure and elegant Vinho Verde and this Pet Nat is a prime example. 

100% Loureiro made in the Ancestral method which involves bottling the wine partway through its primary fermentation, trapping carbon dioxide in the bottle and creating a gentle, bubbly carbonation. This is a dangerously enjoyable bottle of fizz, rich and complex, yet not worth overthinking. Super peachy! Enjoy with company.
