Liquen is the Portuguese word for lichen. It's the perfect metaphor for Menina d'Uva's wine project. Lichen is the result of a symbiosis of fungi with a green algae and/or a blue-green algae between which there is a delicate existence. Thus, they symbolize the delicate relationship between man and vine (or nature in general). Only by having a feel for it, you arrive at the refined wines that Aline Domingues makes.This is a White wine from different plots of 40 to 60 years old, cultivated in schist soils with delicate citric aromas and of white fruits
