Product Description
The Wine: Vinho Rubro 2022
Márcio Lopes Vinho Rubro is a red natural wine made from a blend of Vinho Verde native red grape varieties. Organic farming, low intervention in the cellar. Refreshing and zippy, this is a great wine to be drunk chilled.
The Producer: Márcio Lopes
Márcio Lopes, initially an engineer, honed his winemaking skills with Vinho Verde expert Anselmo Mendes in Melgaço and furthered his experience in Australia. Returning to Portugal in 2010, he launched Pequeños Rebentos in Vinho Verde and began vinifying the Loureiro varietal in 2016. Lopes champions low-intervention winemaking, emphasizing natural yeasts and the quality of fruit. His wines, reflecting this philosophy, are notably fresh, vibrant, and true to their terroir.
The Region: Vinho Verde
Vinho Verde, located in northwest Portugal, is renowned for its youthful, fresh wines influenced by the Atlantic Ocean's maritime climate. While the region's white wines, made from varietals like Alvarinho and Loureiro, are celebrated for their effervescence and aromatic profiles, its history-rich viticulture also produces reds and rosés. Modern winemakers are blending tradition with innovation, increasingly exploring natural wine and organic wine practices. This evolution showcases Vinho Verde's commitment to authenticity and the region's diverse terroir.
The red wines of Vinho Verde, much, much lesser-known than their white counterparts, are also great. Made from the Vinhão grape, these red wines are deep-hued, with a vibrant ruby color. On the palate, they are characterized by red fruit flavors, a touch of earthiness, and a rustic edge. The wines retain the signature freshness of the region. While traditionally consumed young and locally, there's a growing interest in these reds, especially among enthusiasts seeking organic and natural wine expressions. Their unique profile offers a different, more intense taste of the Vinho Verde region, proving its versatility and depth in winemaking.

What is Natural Wine?
Natural winemaking has become a movement akin to a revolution, a nemesis to the industrialization and homogenization of wine in the past three decades. Natural wine producers are at the forefront of this movement, rejecting industrial winemaking techniques and the excessive use of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or fertilizers in the vineyard. Perhaps even more importantly, natural wine should be seen as an agricultural product where farming is and essential part. Farming conditions, labor rights, sustainability, and ethical practises across the supply chain are now at the center of the discourse on natural wine.
Why Should I Try Natural Wine?
Natural wine is probably the most fascinating wine on the market. Discovering natural wines is made even more exciting by the fact that each vintage is different and has a different flavor. The non-interventionist, hands-off winemaking approach, along with organic and biodynamic best practices in the vineyards, gives wines of unique character.

Natural Wine
Natural wine is a type of wine made in small batches from hand-harvested organic or biodynamic grapes with minimal intervention in the cellar. No industrial yeast is added to trigger fermentation or add a particular flavor to a natural wine; the fermentation process is not controlled with temperature-control devices. Read More...
Biodynamic Wine
Biodynamic wine is wine made with grapes farmed biodynamically. Biodynamic farming is a holistic approach to farming, which conceives the farm as a living organism and is based on anthroposophy, a philosophy founded in the early 1920s by the Austrian philosopher and scientist Dr. Rudolf Steiner.

Organic Wine
Organic wine is wine made with grapes farmed organically - in the United States, no added sulfites are allowed. Organic farming is a type of farming alternative to conventional farming and similar to biodynamic farming, which focuses on sustainability. Organic farmers don’t use fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Read More...
Vegan Wine
Vegan wine is wine made without using animal products during the fining phase of the clarification process. Before wine is bottled it is usually clarified and filtered in order to separate and remove solid matter from liquid matter. This can be achieved using fining agents derived from animals, such as egg whites and casein. Read More...
Low-sulfites Wine
Low-sulfites wine is a type of wine with a lower sulfur dioxide content than conventionally made wines, where little or no sulfur dioxide is added to the wine. This does not mean that the wine is without sulfites. During fermentation a small quantity of sulfur dioxide is released into the wine as a form of natural preservative. Read More...
