Favonius Curtimenta Description
Favonius wines are made from small plots in and around Armoreira and Alcobaca, both surrounding the Lisboa area and very close to famed massive surfing wave Nazaré. Through their knowledge and expertise in organic fertilizers and bio-stimulants Rodrigo and Pedro have managed to partner with the most serious of land-owners and cultivate trusting relationships which enable them to properly and sustainably nurture the vineyards for the long-term vision and health of the land. Their natural approach to cultivating the land and minimal winemaking highlights the local grape varieties of Touriga Nacional, Casetelão, Arinto and Fernão Pires. . We appreciate their overall dedication to making clean, fresh and stable natural wines that woo with soul and sense of place. Favonius champions native Portuguese varieties and are deep rooted in experience, knowledge, friendship, sustainability and well cultivated relationships. Authentic Wines for authentic people. Organically farmed. Minimal to Zero Sulfur added. All around natural beauties.
