Aphros Wine was founded in 2004 by Vasco Croft. The former architect and anthro-posophist saw the chance to realize his idea of biodynamic wine production in his grandmother's quinta. This type of viticulture is not widespread in Portugal. The 19,000 winegrowers in the Vinho Verde region mostly sell their grapes. Croft had the opportunity to restore the 17th century Quinta do Casal do Paço and to re-cultivate the vineyards. There, in the Lima sub-region, the Loureiro and Vinhão grape varieties dominate. Both play a decisive role in his wines.
With its maturity, this sparkling wine also has nutty flavors to go with its lemon fruitiness. It's bright and poised, with an elegant style that shines through the tangy texture. Drink now. Roger Voss, 7/1/2019
