Atlantic-blown skin-contact white from one of Lisboa's smartest new projects. Favonius - named for the Roman god of the west wind that blasts in off the ocean - was started in 2021 by Rodrigo Martins and Pedro Cabanita, working organically with small parcels in and around Bombarral, just inland from the famous Nazaré surf coast. Curtimenta is the Portuguese word for skin contact, and this one rides 90% Fernão Pires with 10% Arinto on the skins for about twelve days, then finishes in stainless. The result is a textured, low-input orange wine that tastes the way it sounds: salty, floral, citrus-bittered, briny. A house-pour orange for people who don't actually like the genre's wilder side.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pour with bacalhau à brás, grilled sardines, chicken tagine, fried calamari, pork dumplings, or a board of Manchego, quince paste, and Marcona almonds. Versatile across cuisines that lean salty, spicy, or fermented.

Tasting Profile

Hazy amber-gold. Mandarin peel, dried apricot, chamomile, lemon zest, fennel, passionfruit, and a saline ocean lift. Medium-bodied with gentle, brushing tannin, bright acidity, a dry palate, and a long, savory, citrus-bittered finish.
