Four whites and a rosé from Lavradores de Feitoria, sushi and a relaxed atmosphere: these are the ingredients of a wine event that will bring together the best of two countries whose cultural ties date back to the Age of Discoveries. The 'Wine & Sushi Day' is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, in Porto. The informality of the event omits the invitation: just show up at PROVA wine food & pleasure, at Rua Ferreira Borges, no. 86, from 6 pm.
In terms of wines, the winners are four whites and one rosé. The first category will include this year's new wines: 'Lavradores de Feitoria white 2014', 'Três Bagos white 2014', 'Três Bagos Sauvignon Blanc white 2014' and the top of the range 'Meruge white 2013'. The handful of wines will be completed with the 'Lavradores de Feitoria rosé 2013'.
As for the sushi , the offer is varied and has the signature of Pedro Coelho, the sushi chef from the restaurant O Kuririn – a partner in this initiative –, which has prepared five different combinations, one for each wine. The concept involves diversifying the wines and delicacies. The wine- sushi menus (see below, please) cost between €4.50 and €5.00 and are served independently, so customers can choose whichever they want, in a more relaxed way than is usual at a conventional wine dinner.
During free time, this tasting dinner will be accompanied by Paulo Ruão and Tânia Sousa, respectively director of oenology and market manager at Lavradores de Feitoria, who will guide those present through the wines “on the table”. This is not the first time that Lavradores de Feitoria wines have been paired with sushi : in the South the experience was a success; in the North it promises to be an equally successful experience.
