CONTA-ME PORTUGUESE TALES VINHO VERDE & LISBON, PORTUGAL

Conta-Me Portuguese Tales is a collection of wines that will give us an opportunity to work with the producers, regions, styles, and terroirs that continue to excite us in Portugal…and to create something that makes Naâma & Luis at NLC think of (and taste) the Portugal of Luis’s parents and grandparents. Theirs was a generation that wasn’t fussy about the fruit of the vine, before the “advent” of the winemaker, and who enjoyed every drop as part of their daily gastronomic ritual. How do you bottle the melancholic notes of Fado, the salty sea air of the Atlantic, the smell of wet earth, the wise & ancient gastronomy & the tradition of a thousand- year old country that stretches its limbs once more? NLC’s portfolio of wines brings forth Portugal’s new, old-world traditions with exquisite bouquets of national grapes, state of the art technology & discerning designs.
