Is there a prettier pet nat out there? This is a glorious field blend of 25 different red and white grapes from 80-year-old vines, with notes of red berries, plum and vanilla, with light acidity and an earthy finish. The grapes are macerated whole cluster for four weeks, then pressed off to steel to start fermenting naturally, then bottled unfiltered with minimal sulphur added. Bright and refreshing.

Folias de Baco ("the madness of Bacchus") is an organic and biodynamic winery in the Cima Corgo subregion of the Douro, in the Plateau of Alijó, a zone at 650m altitude. Winemaker Tiago Sampaio works completely naturally with no additions aside from minuscule doses of sulphites added to some wines at the bottling stage. The wines are full of life and vibrancy, and showcase a style of Douro wines that was lost a long time ago. UIVO', or 'howl', is written on most of his wines - since converting all of his vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices, Tiago has seen a substantial return of wildlife. Wolves used to roam the area and he hopes to help lure them back someday.
