Moreish Monte+-island 2022

Luís Lopes is one of the most talented winemakers in Portugal, and in his vibrant youth, he has already accumulated an experience in vineyards, wineries and tastings that few professionals in the world have. From Comte Lafon in Burgundy to almost a decade at the helm of the classic wines of Quinta da Pellada, to New Zealand and leading projects as different and challenging as the wines of Alvear in the Spanish Estremadura, the humble Luís always surpasses himself. His personal project Moreish reveals his most spontaneous side, with wines that are as unusual from grapes and techniques discovered in his travels around the world, as they are delicious, to make you want more!
