Brutal!!! Vindanger is a 100% Grenache Noir rosé from José Carvalho Moreira, who farms a 3-hectare estate in Banyuls-sur-Mer on the steep schist terraces of southern Roussillon, just north of the Spanish border. The wine sees 14 hours of skin contact before pressing, producing a pale, lightly structured rosé with the mineral edge characteristic of Banyuls schist soils. No sulfites are added at any stage.
Zé Tafé, as he is known, practices biodynamic farming across 12 parcels planted primarily to low-yielding old vines of Grenache Noir, Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc, Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. All vineyard work is done by hand. In the cellar, fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, and wines are bottled without fining or filtration. Each micro-production runs between 300 and 1,200 bottles.
Brutal!!! is classified as Vin de France, allowing Zé maximum freedom in the vineyard and cellar without the constraints of AOC rules. The wine is part of a fictional narrative universe that Zé built around each cuvée, with labels printed on cork — a nod to his Portuguese roots — each individually designed by artist Katja Stroph.
Serve well-chilled. Drink young and drink soon after opening.
