A Laranja Mecânica

After the first gentle pressing, the grapes still have 10 to 15 per cent juice. We let these grapes macerate for 7 days and then pressed them again and removed more juice, which was more concentrated. This juice was spontaneously fermented. The result is disconcerting, unruly, disruptive, disturbing? in a very delicious way. It’s not a film, it’s a wine.

It’s our Clockwork Orange, because life sometimes applies an agonising pressure that we just try to bear. Here, we transfer the mechanical pressure to our skins, which is a very healthy way of coping.
