Cluricaun is a project led by Andre Gomes Pereira of Quinta do Montalto in collaboration with Carlos Sousa of CPS Wine. The project is named after the “Cluricaun”, a mischievous fairy in Irish folklore known for his great love of drinking and a tendency to haunt breweries, pubs and wine cellars. Some folklorists consider the Clurican to be a leprechaun on a drinking spree. The wines are aptly named as they are easy drinking, lively and playful, with whimsical and fantastical labels.

All of the Cluricaun wines are made in a low intervention style, with spontaneous fermentation, low doses of sulfur, and no fining or filtration. They use a variety of vessels, including stainless steel tanks for the white and pet nat, open wooden vats called “dornas” for the reds, and amphoras coated with natural pine tree resin for the skin contact white. The amphoras are made by local artisans and are crafted from locally sourced clay.
