Vitor Claro Foxtrot 2020

€ 15.97

A delicious light red wine. Structured, red berry fruit, very juicy and mineral. Truly a wine from the mountains - persistent and powerful with a delicious swung. This wine needs no reason to drink it

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.
