Visceral Wines Moscatel Galego White 2023
18,90 €
Citrine yellow in colour. The nose is extraordinarily rich and layered, with notes of citrus, orange blossom and rose petals, while very subtle oak nuances gently lift the whole. There is a clear sense of proximity to the sea, revealing remarkable freshness and vibrancy, heightened by the salinity that is so characteristic of the region. The finish is long, persistent and distinctive.
| Producer | Nuno Martins Silva |
| Region | Lisboa |
| Grapes | Moscatel Galego Branco (100%) |
| Soil | Located in Campelos, Lourinhã, the vineyard dates geologically back to the Upper Jurassic period. Situated 7 km from the Atlantic Ocean, it is planted on clay-limestone soils and trained using a bilateral cordon system. |
| Winemaking | The grapes were hand-harvested and carefully selected into small 14 kg boxes. At the winery, after a second manual quality sorting, the grapes were fully destemmed and gently crushed. Following a short static settling, spontaneous fermentation took place in used 400-litre French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation was completed in full, with the aim of adding further quality and uniqueness to the wine. It remained ageing in the same French oak barrel until 13 April 2024. To preserve its quality, the wine was bottled without treatment and may therefore develop a natural sediment. Production: 530 bottles |
| Aging | 8 months in used 400 litre French oak barrels. |
| Capacity | 750 ml |
| Volume | Alcohol by Volume: 12% |
| Temperature | 10ºC - 12ºC |
| Harmonizations | Monkfish and Coriander Brothy Rice |
Visceral Wines is the personal project of Mariana and Nuno Martins Silva, born during the pandemic from the desire to create authentic, emotional wines deeply connected to their origin. Lisbon, where the couple’s personal story began, also became the stage for their winemaking ambitions.
The philosophy of the project is simple: “Made from will, instinct. And love. From deep within. Visceral.” A sustainable, low-intervention approach guides both vineyard and winery work, always with the aim of preserving terroir identity and fruit purity.
The vineyards are located in Campelos, Lourinhã, on Upper Jurassic clay-limestone soils, just 7 km from the Atlantic Ocean — a proximity that brings freshness and natural salinity to the wines.
With limited production and a minimalist identity, Visceral Wines represents a new generation of Portuguese producers: small, personal projects focused on authenticity.
