Lés-a-Lés Train ride through Portugal!
Lés-a-Lés Train ride through Portugal!
Jorge Rosa Santos and Rui Lopes, two winemakers and friends, have created a project called Lés-a-Lés that is the culmination of over a decade of work throughout Portugal. With labels modeled after old train tickets, they produce a range of wines from different regions, which we are offering today a-la-carte or as a special 6 pack! This unique Lés-a-Lés package is a window into Portuguese wines from all over the country.
From Jorge and Rui:
"The Lés-a-lés project was born from the desire of winemakers to recover ancient grape varieties and wine styles that were almost extinct in Portugal. This dream of Jorge Rosa Santos and Rui Lopes has become a reality in a collection of exclusive and limited edition wines. Lés-a-lés is a Portuguese expression that means “from one end to the other,” as this brand represents more than ten years of travels across Portugal, in search of fascinating regions and forgotten grape varieties. From the "Medieval of Ourém” to the "Arinto de Pedra e Cal," passing through the “Avesso” and many others, each wine is a journey, each label a ticket to discover a forgotten heritage."
The Lés-a-Lés Six-pack is available at a special price of $160 (Six bottles at normal price would be $192!), and comes with tech notes on each of the wines and quotes from Jorge Rosa Santos and Rui Lopes.
Each bottle can also be purchased separately
Lés-a-Lés Special 6 Pack
All six of the Lés-a-Lés wines on offer are available in a special six pack box, with technical notes included and at a very special reduced price (approximately 20% discount!!).
