A rare bottle of Portuguese viticultural heritage. Jampal is one of the rarest white grapes in the world — fewer than three hectares planted globally — and this wine is one of the very few that takes it seriously. Lés-a-Lés, working with the Quinta das Marés estate in Alenquer (Lisboa region), bottles Jampal blended with another native white, Vital, both organically farmed. The fermentation is wild, with 30% raised in used 228L barrels for six months then finished in stainless on lees for another six. The result is a deeply individual white — quince, white plum, dried fruit, a savory bitter twist, and the kind of vibrant, mineral-driven acidity that makes you want to put a plate of grilled fish in front of it. A geek wine in the best sense.

More about Les-a-Les

Jorge Rosa Santos spent a decade traveling the length and breadth of Portugal hunting down old grape varieties and winemaking styles that the industry had nearly forgotten. Each Les-a-Les wine is a ticket to some corner of Portugal's deep heritage—a love letter to traditional methods, obscure varieties, and the terroirs that shaped them. These are wines that tell forgotten stories.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A natural with grilled sardines, salt cod brandade, octopus salad, oysters, ceviche, or roasted root vegetables. Lovely with bacalhau in any form, or a creamy chèvre.

Tasting Profile

Quince, white plum, dried apricot and lemon pith, with a faintly nutty lees character and a savory, almost bitter herbal twist. Bright, mineral-charged acidity carries a long, vibrant, singular finish.
