"Saravá is an afro-brazilian word used as a mantra to invoke the force that moves nature, but is also remains a greeting similar to "Hail!" - Like a wish of good luck.

We want SARAVÁ wine to show what nature is giving to its grapes. We have chosen this word also to bring our history to the wine. I´ve worked in a lot of different places and met my wife in Brazil while I was a winemaker there. We moved around together and before coming to Portugal and starting Saravá we lived for three years in Mozambique."

Winemaking:90% destemmed, 10% whole-cluster, seven month maceration in vat. Bottled unfiltered with 30mg of S02 per hectoliter at bottling.

-Louis/Dressner Selections

This orange wine, made from a combination of Trajadura and Loureiro, spends five months macerating in a vertical press and three more months in chestnut barrels and clay tinajas. Accompanied by notes of apricot, we love this wine’s texture, minerality, and juiciness!
