Tubarão is a project created by Ricardo Garrido, inspired by the winemaking tradition of the well-known vinhos verdes region in Minho, in the north of Portugal. This area is characterized by the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and its abundant rainfall, which gives rise to fresh, light wines with a low alcohol content in general.
Tubarão Loureiro is made using minimal intervention processes with one of the region's flagship varieties, the Loureiro. This grape is known for its minerality and freshness. It ferments and remains in stainless steel for 4 months and, as is traditional in the area, Loureiro must is added when bottling to generate a second fermentation in the bottle that gives it that slightly sparkling touch. An "old-school" white from one of the most renowned wine regions in Portugal.
