Vitor Claro Domino Tinto 2014

€ 22.02

A Niepoort Project from the Alentejo, 'Domino' Salao Frio Tinto. Only 1,000 bottles were produced from the 2015 year. The wine stands out for its elegance, low alcohol and grand character

Vitor is one of Portugal’s great young Chefs, and he’s been making his way as a Restauranteur both in Portugal and abroad. After getting the wine bug from Dirk Niepoort, he decided to take matter in his own hands (literally) and craft one of Portugal’s craking new explorations of the Alentejo’s Serra de S.Mamede, and in Castelo Rodrigo with his newest Colmeal Wines.
