The Moment

This is the bottle you open when the goal is simple: something cold, refreshing, and immediately joyful.

Low fuss. High pleasure.

The kind of wine that disappears faster than expected.

Tasting Notes

Aromatics
Fresh strawberry and raspberry lead the way, lifted by subtle citrus and a faint floral breeze that keeps everything feeling bright.

Youthful and energetic with a delicate spritz — classic Vinho Verde charm. Juicy watermelon, ripe berries, and a squeeze of salted lime create a beautiful tension between crisp acidity and soft fruit.
