(5/2019) From Ribeiro's new natural winemakers at Cume do Avia, the medium-bodied Dos Canotos strikes a fine balance between the inky Souson that comprises the majority of the blend and the brightness and backbone of the remaining Caino Longo and Brancellao. Farmed organically and biodynamically and then aged in century-old chestnut vats, the aromas and flavors of fresh violets stirred into wild red and blackberries and dried herbs emulate something like the ripeness of Gamay crossed with the black-fruited earthiness of Northern Rhone Syrah. Though its refreshing acidity and bright fruit make it delicious out of the gates, its healthy structure and deep-rooted layers would benefit from a brief decanting, and even a year in the cellar.

(5/2019) The brothers behind Cume do Avia have a story to match the rugged landscape of their vineyards in Ribeiro. After inheriting an abandoned farm from their grandparents, they set upon planting long-forgotten indigenous varietals and farming them organically and biodynamically. They took out loans to purchase equipment and after several years of learning and experimentation, 2017 is the first true vintage. Comprised of 40% Caino Longo, 26% Brancellao and 34% Souson, Colleita 5's rawness is balanced by its elegance. Aged in hundred-year-old chestnut barrels, this light-bodied 11%er greets you with flowery notes of wild strawberry, cranberry and green herbs. A quintessential refreshment at cellar temperature.
