🌊 ATLANTIC EDGE & NATIVE SOUL: THE COZs 3-PACK FEATURE 🍇

Straight from the rugged limestone ridges of Serra de Montejunto—just miles from the crashing Atlantic waves—visionary winemakers Tiago Teles & António Marques-da-Cruz are completely rewriting the script for Portuguese wine.

Farming organically with minimal intervention, they capture the wild, windswept energy of Portugal’s western coast in every bottle. This curated 2023 Vintage 3-Pack gives you a front-row seat to their craft:

✨ 1. COZs Vital Macerado 2023 (100% Vital)
Skin-Contact / Orange Wine 🍊
Textural, vibrant, and salty! Made from old-vine Vital grown on clay-limestone soils and macerated in concrete tanks. Expect citrus peel, lemon, herbaceous notes, and a sea salt finish.

⚡ 2. COZs Arinto 2023 (100% Arinto de Bucelas)
Crisp, High-Acid Coastal White 🍋
Electric, razor-sharp, and insanely refreshing. Grown under the cooling mountain air, it pulses with green apple, wet stone minerality, lime pith, and piercing freshness.

🍒 3. COZs Tinto 2023 (Castelão & Baga)
Light-Bodied, Chillable Red 🍷
The ultimate summer porch-pounder! Gentle whole-cluster fermentation creates a fresh, light red packed with red fruit, plums, earthy spice, and that signature maritime salinity. Serve it chilled!

⚠️ EXTREMELY LIMITED RELEASE ⚠️
This isn’t just exceptional winemaking—it’s ultra-rare. We only have 8 3-packs available! Once they are gone, they are officially gone.
Bundle Special Price: $153 (Regularly $179.99) — In shop this Friday!

📣🇵🇹Something special is coming to Pinheiro this fall🇵🇹📣

Starting this September, October, and November, we are rolling out a whole new season of experiences—from cultural and community events, to a fun new spin on a wine club.

While we prepare for autumn, we still have a few Passport Tastings remaining in August, giving us plenty of chances to raise a glass together before the new season begins.

Stay tuned over the next month for official announcements, sneak peeks, and early sign-ups. We have so much in store for you! Vamos, pessoal! 🍷🍾❤️🔥

I don’t know if you know this (okay, you definitely do 🤣), but Ideal’s Sandwich and Grocery is officially staying open later now—AND it’s their 5-year anniversary this week! 🎉

We couldn’t just sit here and NOT celebrate. So, we’re launching….

The Ideal Pairing 🍷🥪

Here’s the deal: whenever a new special sandwich drops at Ideals, we’re matching it with a featured wine at Pinheiro.
First up for launch week:

🥪 The Sandwich: Roasted corn, cherry tomatoes, sweety drop peppers, queso fresco, and corn butter on a toasted torpedo roll.

🍷 The Pairing: IDLEWILD WINES Flora and Fauna White. A crisp, mouth-watering white with lemon peel, orange blossom, and stony minerality that cuts right through and makes your sandwich-induced smile grow 3x bigger!

Come grab the special, pick up the wine, and let’s party like only Old East Durham knows how to! 🥳 Here’s to 5 years, Ideal’s!
