Novato means “beginner” in Portuguese and is inspired by the founders’ own story. Not coming from a long established wine background, they embrace this condition with curiosity, irreverence, and a subtle sense of irony. Novato is an Alvarinho that celebrates creative freedom and the absence of rules that often come with starting something new, translating the spirit of the novice as intuitive, fearless, and open to experimentation. The illustration evokes a sense of wonder, almost magical, portraying a character rooted in classic wine culture and Old World references, yet reinterpreted through a contemporary and irreverent lens. Floral notes, lightness, and subtle urban moments unfold a fresh and vibrant character where tradition is gently disrupted by modernity and reinvention happens naturally through conversation, laughter, and shared experiences.
