Casa da Passarella 2013 O Fugitivo Vinhas Centenárias Red (Dão)

Country: Portugal / O Fugitivo Vinhas Centenárias
Variety: Portuguese Red Dão
Winery: Casa da Passarella /

As the wine’s name indicates, it is made from century old vines, planted by a Burgundian who arrived in Portugal to escape World War One. The result is a wine of immense concentration, dark tannins and beautiful fruit. The vineyard is planted as a field blend, the grapes are fermented in traditional open stone lagares. It is a superb wine that deserves further aging. Drink from 2019.
