NUA Cider Branco #1 2018 375ml
PORTUGAL : MINHO
ORGANIC : Pipo de Basto, Porta da Loja
MED-BODIED, TART APPLE, PEAR, GENTLE EARTHINESS, DRY FINISH, NO OAK
NUA sources from small family orchards in the Minho, one of Portugal’s oldest fruit-growing regions, working exclusively with rare indigenous apple varieties rarely found outside the north. Pipo de Basto contributes sweetness and juice; the rustic Porta da Loja adds structure, tannin, and a sharp bite. Nothing added, nothing taken away — just apple and time.
The 2018 vintage carries the complexity that comes from that patient approach — spontaneous fermentation, native yeast, and a long unhurried finish that still has something to say.
PAIRINGS :
| Aged sheep’s milk cheese | the tannin from Porta da Loja cuts through fat and salt; the classic match for dry northern cider |
| Grilled sardines | bright acidity mirrors the brine and char; a pairing rooted in northern Portugal |
| Ibérico charcuterie | the dry tannic finish clears the palate between slices |
