Background: Born and raised on a wine and vineyard estate that many historians deem one of the longest established in the council of Alenquer and whose origins stretch back prior to the founding of the nation of Portugal – the Quinta de Porto Franco. It is from the excellence of this estate that José Neiva Correia, now 59 years of age and one of the most productive winemakers in the country, sources much of the raw material put into producing the very best DFJ Vinhos wines.
Tasting notes: Rich, vibrant and intensely fruity red with juicy black fruit and spicy flavours. It’s a great wine, tasty, smooth and elegant with an intense and persistent finish.
Tasting Notes: It gives a perfumed aroma with an instant hit of strawberries on the nose with a background of red summer fruits. The palate offers delicious cherry fruits with an elegant finish and refreshing acidity. Very easy drinking and perfect on a hot summers eve.
Food Pairing: A wonderful aperitif, very good complement to salads, fish soups, pasta, sushi and all the vegetarian and spiced gastronomy such as Indian, Chinese and Thai.
