Cozs Pop Branco 2023, Lisboa

A collaboration between two of Portugal's most talented winemakers, Antonio Marques Cruz and Tiago Teles, this shows just why the rare, ancient Vital grape is so exciting. Three days skin contact creates a lovely texture with a bit of grip and bite supporting the richly floral, gingery aromatics. Reminiscent of the wines of Friuli, this is seriously gastronomic and would be delicious with arroz de marisco or any salty seafood dish.
