Producer profile

Bojo do Luar

The Bojo do Luar project originated when Savio visited the Vinho Verde region and encountered Fernando Paiva, a pioneering biodynamic producer. Fernando's innovative approach includes integrating ground chestnut flowers with grapes and must before the start of fermentation. Notably, he has completely stopped using sulfur dioxide (SO2) in his winemaking process since 2017.

As a leading figure in non-interventionist winemaking, Fernando earned the distinction of being the first Portuguese producer to receive the DEMETER certification. This visit also led Savio to meet Antonio Sousa, a practitioner of biodynamic viticulture who, unlike Fernando, continues to employ traditional and conventional methods in his cellar.

Wine region

Vinho Verde, Portugal

Vinho Verde, located northwest of Portugal, is a renowned wine-producing region celebrated for its distinctive and refreshing wines. The Minho River borders the region to the north, the Douro River to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. This unique geographical setting contributes to the region's mild and humid climate, ideal for viticulture.

Vinho Verde has developed a rich winemaking tradition over the centuries. The name "Vinho Verde" translates to "green wine," referring to the wines' youthful freshness and vibrant acidity rather than their color. The region's history of viticulture dates back to Roman times, and it has evolved significantly, embracing modern techniques while preserving traditional methods.

The terroir of Vinho Verde is characterized by its granitic soils, which provide excellent drainage, essential for the region's abundant rainfall. The Atlantic Ocean influences the climate, bringing moderate temperatures and high humidity, which contribute to the unique characteristics of Vinho Verde wines. The combination of soil and climate results in wines that are light, crisp, and slightly effervescent.

Vinho Verde is best known for its white wines but also produces red and rosé varieties. The white wines are typically made from indigenous grape varieties such as Alvarinho, Loureiro, and Trajadura. These wines are noted for their vibrant acidity, light body, and slight effervescence, making them incredibly refreshing and perfect for warm weather. Vinho Verde reds and rosés, though less common, offer unique flavors and are enjoyed by those seeking something different.

The cuisine of Vinho Verde reflects its rich agricultural and maritime heritage. The region's dishes often feature fresh seafood, thanks to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Traditional dishes include "bacalhau" (salted cod), "caldo verde" (a hearty kale soup), and grilled sardines. The local cuisine pairs perfectly with Vinho Verde wines, with the crisp acidity of the wines complementing the fresh and flavorful dishes. Additionally, the region is known for its fresh vegetables, fruits, and cheeses, contributing to its diverse culinary landscape.
