Recognition
This wine was recognized by the New York Times, where it appeared on the official page with the following description, "Aphros is one of the most interesting of the new wave of producers in Portugal. All its agriculture is biodynamic. The bottles with the label "Phaunus" tend to be more experimental, fermented in amphorae and cloudy in the glass, for example. I really liked these wines. Others, like this Vinho Verde, seem more conventional, although they are unusually pure and delicious. This white, made entirely from the vine. loureiro variety, it is fresh and dry, with aromas of flowers and refreshing citrus flavors."
