Casa Ferreirinha Callabriga

Tasting Notes

Intense aromas of black fruits, including prunes and sour cherries, as well as cocoa. Balsamic aromas are also prominent alongside a well- integrated wood element that bestows great complexity. It has smooth yet firm tannins, a balanced acidity, and long persistent finish.

Varieties

43% Touriga Franca, 32% Touriga Nacional, 25% Tinta Roriz

Technical Notes

Grapes are sourced from selected plots at Quinta da Leda property and vineyards surrounding it in the Douro Superior sub-region. After destemming and soft crushing, the grapes are transferred to stainless steel tanks, where they undergo alcoholic fermentation for 8 days. Gentle maceration takes place for 5 days at controlled temperatures (82°F) to extract color and aromas.

Food Pairing

Pairs wonderfully with meat dishes and is the ideal accompaniment to game or roasted fish.
