On every bottle
Every bottle comes with a card
One side tells you what to eat with it and what it tastes like. The other side is empty — write a note and the bottle becomes a present.
The front
What to eat with it
Two dishes that work with this wine, two flavours you'll notice, and the right temperature to pour it. No wine-speak.
The back
Room for your note
Lines for a name, a few words and your signature. Have it sent straight to someone and they get a card you wrote, not a packing slip.
Included with every bottle.

Why it's on our shelf
Most people associate Vinho Verde with something sweet and slightly fizzy — this is the bottle I use to prove them wrong. Monção e Melgaço, mountain Alvarinho country, granite soils, early harvest to preserve freshness. 150,000 bottles — Anselmo Mendes' calling card. Three months on fine lees, long low-temperature fermentation. Clean, mineral, and precise.
