In September 2025, Leyla Kazim — broadcaster, BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme presenter, MasterChef critic — was asked by her neighbour and friend Rui Costa, who runs the small organic vineyard Cas’Amaro, to make a wine with him. This is what came of saying yes. 

A naturally sparkling white pét-nat, made from Sercial, an indigenous Portuguese grape. Hand-harvested, wild-fermented, bottled before fermentation finishes so the bubbles form naturally in the bottle. Grapefruit, pineapple and orange blossom on the nose; smooth, lively and fresh on the palate.

Certified organic and vegan. Every bottle was filled and capped by hand via a machine with only three spouts, and labelled by hand by a small team over two full days.

Each bottle carries a signed gold seal on the label: Made in Alenquer, Portugal — with Leyla Kazim.

Buy a case of 6, 9 or 12 and receive two tickets to Alma do Vinho festival in Alenquer, Portugal 17-20th September 2026 (worth €90), the very festival where this collaboration began. A handful of extra tickets are also tucked into orders of any size, at random.

1,200 bottles total — there is no second batch. The entire run fits into a single metal cage and it isn’t likely to hang around for long.

On sale for 5 days only: 17–21 August 2026.
