A crisp, dry, modern style of Vinho Verde produced from the Loureiro grape. Fresh, aromatic white wine with flavours of lime, jasmine, bay leaves, subtle apricot and lemon verbena.

Mrcio Lopes studied as an engineer, but cut his winemaking teeth working for two years with Vinho Verde master Anselmo Mendes in Melgao. He then traveled to Australia where he made wine in Rutherglen and Tasmania, another cool climate region. He returned to Portugal in 2010 to start his own projects, including Pequenos Rebentos in Vinho Verde. His winemaking is low intervention, he ferments using natural yeasts, and like many of our producers he believes that if the fruit is good enough he will make quality wines with balance that reflect his terroir. This seems to be working – his wines are distinctively fresh and vibrant, showing bright and clear typical variety aromas.
