Peixe da Estrada | PEIXES
Peixe da Estrada roughly translates as ‘fish of the road’, the grapes come from across the Viana region, and the name represents the time Curro and Jesús spend on the road tending all the small plots! This fluid, fresh ‘regional wine’ has pure cassis fruit and shows a snapshot of this high mountain region.
