A wine new to me, but a very welcome addition to our list. This is produced by a young winemaker from a tiny terraced plot planted with an old local variety - Arcos. Nope, not me either. And it's really different, a wine to make you think. There's plenty of raspberry, red cherry and cranberry notes along with floral hints on the nose, but on the palate, the first thing you note after the red fruits is the minerally, crushed stone sensation, very distinctive. It has plenty of sweet fruit but a more savoury finish, with a touch of pepper, a bit of grip and good acidity. No oak, decent finish. Give it time to open up as it's more complex than a simple pop and pour. Challenging but enjoyable, and it will be interesting to see how this develops in bottle.
