The region’s proximity to the ocean moderates temperatures and brings cooling breezes that preserve freshness and acidity in the wines. Vinha Mãe — “Mother Vine” — is a family estate with deep roots in the Lisboa terroir, farming indigenous Portuguese varieties that have been cultivated in this region for centuries. Portugal’s wine renaissance has brought global attention to its extraordinary native grapes and diverse wine regions, and Lisboa is at the forefront of that movement. This bottle is a beautiful expression of that heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree shipping when you purchase 6 bottles or more.
