-c Kompassus Vinho Tinto, DOC Bairrada, Portugal (750ml)

Vintage: 2021
Description: About the Icons. A Quarterly Red Cellar Trio Wine Club Selection. João Povoa is an ophthalmologist by profession but a farmer by passion. After realizing the unique potential of the soil, climate, and native varietals in the Bairrada region, João decided to change his profession, and has been making wines since 1991. Founded in 2005, Kompassus is a boutique winery, focused on producing outstanding, small-lot wines from autochthonous grape varietals. The name ‘Kompassus' refers to the measurement between the row of vines which is 1.7 meters (new mechanized vineyards are about 3 meters). This specific planting was first used by the Romans, and with such a small space between the rows, makes it impossible to use any mechanized equipment, meaning everything must be done by hand. This smaller measurement allows a better use of light and helps control the plant's vigor.
