Joao Costa’s Beiorte is a tiny passion project focused on minimal intervention winemaking with maximal sentimental attachment to the local traditions of their native corner of the Dao region. The bottle label’s photo of a person in widow’s black against a backdrop of hand-worked stone masonry will stir nostalgia for anyone who’s spent time in rural Portugal. The wine presents as refined and svelte with dry cherry and plum notes lightly framed by baking spice, red flower notes, and super-light melt-away tannins. Its a strikingly elegant stand-alone beauty that will serve well both at the table or as a purely social wine. Saúde!!
Practicing organic. Primarily baga, blended with tinta pinheira, trincadeira, alfrocheiro, jaen, tinta roriz, touriga nacional and castelão, among others. 80-plus year-old vines. Santa Ovaia, Alva, Dao, Portugal.
