Vinho Verde isn't just white - the region produces a stunning red from Vinhao, an inky, high-acid grape that is one of Portugal's most distinctive native varieties. Marcio Lopes is a young Porto-born winemaker who launched Pequenos Rebentos in 2010 after stints with Anselmo Mendes and harvest gigs in Australia. He farms organically on granite soils and ferments with native yeasts in stainless steel. Rubro is 100% Vinhao with a gentle frizzante prickle - dark, peppery, electric, and totally unique. Serve it with a chill on; it's basically the platonic ideal of summer red.
