Region: Monção e Melgaço, Vinho Verde, Portugal
Grapes: Indigenous red and white field blend varieties (co-fermented)
Body: Light
Notes: Pale ruby and wild. Pomegranate, red cherry, dried rose petal, and a hint of citrus peel. Delicate, juicy, and dangerously easy to drink — especially cold.
Pairing: Charcuterie, grilled fish, roasted chicken, or a long lunch outside.
Márcio Lopes Clarete is a field-blend rosso-bianco in the ancient Portuguese tradition — a co-fermentation of red and white indigenous grape varieties grown together in the same old plots, vinified together on the skins for a short maceration before pressing. This centuries-old practice, once common across northern Portugal and Galicia, produces a pale, lively wine that sits beautifully between a rosé and a light red. Márcio's approach at Adega Pequenos Rebentos is rooted in radical simplicity: no additions, no adjustments, no shortcuts. Just hand-harvested grapes, spontaneous fermentation, and a light touch. The 2023 is bright, perfumed, and built for the table — best served with a serious chill and zero occasion required.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
