Quinta de Fafide estate is located on the outskirts of Sao Joao da Pesqueira, at an altitude between 550 and 650 meters. The grapes are generally harvested in October, with the altitude allowing them to ripen without water stress.
Extremely fresh, this wine shows the freshness of the grapes. Very intense and elegant aromas that are dominated by plum jam and perfectly balanced with toasty notes from the aging in French oak barrels. Excellent tannins on the palate, with a long and lasting finish.
Serve with red meat, game, strong cheeses, spicy meat dishes.

"A dense but supple red, with ripe cherry and raspberry notes detailed with gingerbread, berry tea and olive accents, supported by full tannins and well integrated acidity. Baking spice and mineral elements bind together on the finish. Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. Drink now through 2022."

"An elegant wine that is balanced between blackberry fruits and tight acidity. It is structured with a blend of wood aging and crisp fruit. Drink this attractive wine now. - Roger Voss"
