The fully equipped distillery boasts two Japanese copper pot stills with adjustable lyne arms for whisky production and three Portuguese alembic pot stills now primarily used for gin and brandy distillation

We are excited to work with such a special site and think the wines we have produced so far from this plot will age well in the cellar for years to come

1990 Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas Branco, Beiras, Portugal Fangareggi Les Cras isThe second ever vintage of VV Branco. This wine is a roughly equal parts blend of Bical, Cercial, and Maria Gomes, fermented and aged in french oak barrels for about 9 months, then held at the winery in bottle for about 30 (!) years. Incredible balance of salted pineapple, and mango, white tea, and wildflowers. Has aged like great dry Riesling!
