About the Producer

Bojo do Luar is a collaboration between importer Savio Soares and biodynamic viticulturist Antonio Sousa in northern Portugal's Vinho Verde region. The project grew out of Savio's encounter with Fernando Paiva, a pioneering local producer who became the first in Portugal to earn DEMETER biodynamic certification and had stopped using sulfites entirely by 2017. 

 

What makes Bojo do Luar's approach genuinely unusual is the use of ground chestnut flowers added to the grapes and must before fermentation, a traditional technique for natural stabilization that you simply don't see anywhere else. Bojo do Luar takes the ancient, indigenous varieties of northern Portugal and let them speak without interference.

Why I Chose this Wine

Azal accounts for less than 0.02% of plantings globally and was recovered from near extinction, so finding it made into a pét-nat with skin contact and amphora aging felt like stumbling onto something almost no one knows about yet.

 

This is the kind of wine that makes me grin from ear to ear, and I hope it does the same for you.
