Winemaker’s notes: “Both plots where the grapes for this skin contact Chinado come from were harvested manually, between 427 August and 3 of September, into 15 Kg crates. A first selection of the grapes is done at the vineyard and then we check every bunch before de-steming, to ensure we only get the healthy grapes in. The grapes were then destemmed and maceration began. On the following day fermentation was on it’s way. The must remained with skins for 14 days and during that time all we do is a gentle delestage by hand twice a day. We then pressed the grapes into a stainless steel tank where fermentation continued until it was completed. The wine was racked during winter, blended and bottled the following spring”.

Crafted by João Tereso, a sound engineer who ventured into winemaking in 2017 to save his grandfather’s small plots of field-blend vines in Alcobaça, an hour north of Lisbon, Portugal.

Additional Information

Both plots where the grapes for this skin contact Chinado come from where harvested

manually, between the 6th and the 8th of September, into 15 Kg crates. THe vintage agve

us very well balanced grapes and harvest was on point to capture that balance. A first

selection of the grapes is done at the vineyard and then we check every bunch before

processing, to ensure we only get the best grapes in. The grapes were then de-stemed

and maceration began. The wine remained with skins for 12 days and during that time all

we do is gentle punchdowns by hand twice a day. We then pressed the grapes into a

stainless steel tank where fermentation continued until it was completed. The wine was

racked during winter, blended and bottled the following spring.

It shows classical skin contact aromas on the nose, like tea leaves and lemongrass. In the

mouth you get some stone fruit and mineral under tones, flanked by just the right amount

of acidity, soft tannins and a firm finish.

Best ball for retrieving ever
Size: Medium, Style: Medium (4 Pack)
I have been using a ball launcher to exercise my Border Collie. Up till now I have been using the launcher to throw tennis balls. Even with the launcher I can only throw the balls a couple of hundred feet. These balls go MUCH further. I am using a steep horse pasture to throw the balls and I have to make sure that I don't launch them past the fence at the end of the pasture. I think the thing that makes them go further is their weight combined with a smooth surface. They also have incredible bonce. They hit and just shoot way up into the air. Also, the tennis balls I was using were green. In my horse pasture they were easy for the Collie to miss since they blended right in to the grass. These balls with the orange with blue stripes are far easier for the dog to find. It's really hard to tire out a Border Collie but these balls do the job.

Great fun for retrievers
Size: Medium, Style: Medium (4 Pack)
Great durable balls. Use these with or without the thrower. Lab puppy loves to play fetch and these are easy to spot in the yard. Our neighbor has 2 pit bulls who also plays with them. Will buy them again if need be.

My dog loves chasing these balls. He seems to love the squeak! They fit the chuck it stick perfectly, and are great replacements for the originals that came with the stick.
