Domino

"Dominó is a very basic pun. In Burgundy you have domaines and in Bordeaux you have châteaux. My first love in wine, despite not being able to afford it, is
Burgundy. So our little and was a dominó. Everyone liked the name so we kept it." - Rita & Vitor Claro

The Region

Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon's natural wine scene is a vibrant tapestry woven with tradition, innovation, and a deep respect for the land. Nestled amidst the picturesque hillsides and coastal breezes of Portugal's capital city, Lisbon's natural winemakers embrace a philosophy of minimal intervention and organic viticulture, allowing the grapes to express themselves authentically. From the rugged landscapes of Colares to the sun-kissed vineyards of the Tejo region, Lisbon offers a diverse array of terroirs that contribute to the complexity and character of its wines. With a focus on indigenous grape varieties like Touriga Nacional and Arinto, alongside lesser-known treasures, Lisbon's natural wines often showcase a spectrum of flavors ranging from bright citrus and floral notes to earthy undertones, all buoyed by refreshing acidity. This dynamic and evolving wine scene reflects Lisbon's spirit of creativity, sustainability, and a deep-rooted connection to the land and its traditions.
