Luis Gil probably makes the most refined and most layered natural wines in our range.
Just past the dunes of Peniche, he found scattered small old vineyards with a lot of potential. He convinced the owners to rent them out to him and now farms them organically and does everything by hand.
At harvest, he literally selects the grapes one by one. He checks every bunch and only processes perfectly ripe grapes. In the cellar he crushes them lightly and lets the juice ferment, preserving the peels and stalks. He does that for white just as well as for red.
Luis' Marinho wines are bursting with character and are the perfect expression of the Atlantic climate that makes Portugal so unique.
