Aguardente Barrel Direct

$55

A limited release of unfiltered Aguardente Barrel Direct, a marriage of old-vine Zinfandel, Muscat, and Pinot Noir distillates from select vineyards on California’s Edna Valley. The result is deep, assertive, complex, and gracefully lingering on the palate.

We unite two classic Portuguese traditions: Vinica, from young wine, and Bagaceira, from grape skins used immediately after pressing to preserve delicate flavors. Bottled at barrel strength after eight years in French oak to capture full body and intensity.

Distiller's Notes

Material

Fine wine & pressed grape skins

Palate

Refined, intense depth with a lingering finish

Nose

Deep, complex fruit and oak

Method

Old-world alembic pot distillation, aged 8+ yrs in French oak

Serving

Neat in small pours, slow sipping—perfect for special occasions

Sip unfiltered aguardente bottled straight from the barrel. Born in copper stills. Raised in French oak for eight patient years.

Vinica speaks in aromas. Bagaceira carries depth. Together, they sing a story.

Long aging draws out dried fruit, resin, and spice—concentrating the spirit into its final undiluted form.
