Our sommeliers suggest

POÇAS COROA D'OURO 2016

The White Ouro Coroa is a well-kept secret. The wine has sap and pine. Peach as a main effluent with an empyreumatic and spicy blade. The palate is oily, fresh and persistent. Some will be surprised at the price ... but it's a great little find at $ 12.95. Run for provisions! See the product

SERGENT RIPIN, BROUHAHA, 6.5%

Season brewed with wild yeasts, it will offer you aromas of pepper, clove, lemon and ripe fruit that will just as much marry the aromas of beetroot as celery or white balsamic. The typical dryness of this beer will ensure a good balance with the salad. See the product
