A bold, skin-contact white with real personality. In the glass it shows a golden-orange hue. The nose is vibrant and expressive, with notes of citrus peel, apricot, jasmine, and a hint of smokiness.
On the palate it’s dry, textured, and complex. Fresh lime and stone fruits layered with subtle tannins from skin contact. Crisp acidity keeps it lively, while a gentle grip and a touch of bittersweet citrus carry through to a long, refreshing finish.
Perfect for adventurous drinkers looking for something between a white and a red. Pair it with charcuterie, spicy dishes, or rich seafood.

About this Winery
Hugo Mendes’ journey into wine was anything but ordinary. After earning a degree in Biotechnological Engineering in 2005, he discovered his true calling in the vineyards. That same year he joined Quinta da Murta in Bucelas, where his talent quickly shone, rising from cellar hand to Head Winemaker by 2010. Along the way, he earned the nickname “The Wizard Apprentice” through his popular blog, where he demystified the art of winemaking for a new generation of enthusiasts.
By 2016, Hugo’s restless curiosity pushed him to break new ground. He launched Portugal’s first crowdfunding campaign for wine, inviting “patrons” to pre-purchase bottles at special prices. A bold idea that not only funded his independent projects but also challenged the traditional belief that winemaking demanded heavy upfront investment.
In 2019, he left Quinta da Murta to dedicate himself fully to his own label. Today, Hugo brings overlooked Portuguese grapes into the spotlight, crafting expressive wines from Lisboa varieties like Fernão Pires, Vital, and Arinto.
