Anyone have a centerfold of the Do Ferreiro Cepas Vellas? They're really hot too.

BTW - the pergola is about 6-foot-7 high, and so are the trunks of the 200 year-old vines.

Now we're talking! Thanks VS!

A brief video of the Do Ferreiro Cepas Vellas vineyard also exists.

I'm surprised this got by the YouTube TOS.

You know what I want?

Baldo's. Make it Michet. Big ol' Gabutti.

And yeah. Straight up. Franco.

Wishful thinking? Allow me to dream...

Would love to see that too. In Portuguese we have an expression that loosely translates as "If you don't have a dog, hunt with a cat."

Where are those Texier,Sablet vines? From the picture the soil does not seem particularly phylloxera averse.

As its name indicates Sablet soil is mainly sable (sand) with limestone scales/peebles as you go towards the Dentelles de Montmirail.

Nice claws.

Just sort of thinking about it, I would imagine there would be old ungrafted vines in the Jura, but I can't think of a wine from the Jura that makes this claim.

Might anyone know of one?
