This week's tasting is dedicated to the white wines of Aphros Winery from Portugal.

Vasco Croft, a former architect, founded the winery in 2003 in the renowned classic wine region Vinho Verde and was a pioneer of Portugal's organic and biodynamic work.

Almost 20 years later, the Afros Winery is run with great success, in keeping with the spirit enacted at the beginning of the road, does not operate in industrialized and does not produce huge masses.
