The Wine

The owner of Aprhos is Vasco Croft, an architect, educator and devotee of Rudolf Steiner, who discovered the mysteries of wine in his mid-thirties through the intervention of a Brazilian Buddhist monk. From there it's pretty much a straight line to starting your own winery and biodynamic vineyard, right?

Before Vasco decided that PetNat represented his sparkling future, he made a series of excellent classic sparklers like this vintage wine from 2014. Made from whole cluster-pressed Vinhão grapes and aged su lee until being disgorged in January 2021, all hints of the variety’s rusticity have been banished, leaving a champagne-like finesse. The top wine at this year's Oscars party.

The Winery

I am proud to be one of the early retailers offering his wines in the US, though TBH he had already blazed a trail through the English press, with luminaries like Jamie Goode and Sara Ahmed singing his praises. In person he is as vivid, energetic and unbuttoned as are his wines. Endlessly restless, he is currently engaged in an ambitious project to create a cultural center/restaurant and a food forest on his recently expanded estate.

Isolated for years from the “happening” areas of Europe, the Portuguese have been free to make wine their own way - from their coiled, snappy whites and mysterious, minerally reds to entirely singular sparkling wines like this one!
