A traditional \"Palhete\" is crafted by co-fermenting red and white grapes co-planted together in centuries-old vineyards. Madeira sources this fruit from lovingly regenerated, biodynamically farmed old vines—some well over a hundred years old. In the cellar, he adheres to a strictly minimal-intervention philosophy, letting the field blend undergo spontaneous native-yeast fermentation. To showcase the wine's raw purity, electric high-altitude energy, and aromatic lift, it is aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks before being bottled unfiltered with low sulfur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it pours a vivid, luminous cranberry-ruby hue with shimmering violet edges. The aromatics jump out immediately, bursting with tart red cherries, wild strawberries, crushed dried flowers, white pepper, and a cool, herbal hint of mountain garrigue. On the palate, a \"crystalline\" streak of laser-focused, granite-driven acidity slices straight through the light-bodied, weightless fruit. The inclusion of white grapes tempers the extraction, yielding fine-grained, featherlight tannins that frame the mid-palate without adding astringency. It glides effortlessly into an ethereal, highly refreshing finish, leaving a lingering, salty trail of crushed stone minerals and sour red berries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antonio Madeira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50158579679472,"sku":"C5","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Comingsoon.png?v=1768455940","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/antonio-madeira-palhete-ainda-2022","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
