Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos Douro Tinto 2023 75cl
Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos is a fresh and vibrant red wine from the Douro Superior, crafted from Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards across the Douro Superior, with approximately 25% coming from the Quinta da Leda estate near the Spanish border. The vineyards are planted on predominantly schist soils, which fracture vertically, allowing vine roots to access deep water and nutrients.. Why You'll Love It. This is Douro red wine at its finest—fresh, vibrant, and beautifully expressive. Founded in 1952 by Fernando Nicolau de Almeida, Casa Ferreirinha revolutionised Douro still wines and remains a standard-bearer for quality under the guidance of Luís Sottomayor. The estate spans 520 hectares across all three Douro subregions and is renowned for its meticulous vineyard management and production of complex, elegant wines, including legendary labels such as 'Reserva Especial' and 'Barca-Velha'.. Vineyard & Production. Grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards across the Douro Superior, with approximately 25% coming from the Quinta da Leda estate near the Spanish border. The vineyards are planted on predominantly schist soils, which fracture vertically, allowing vine roots to access deep water and nutrients. The 2023 vintage benefited from a rainy winter and mild spring, followed by warm, balanced summer conditions, resulting in grapes with high concentration, vibrant fruit and excellent ripeness. Grapes were hand-harvested and carefully selected, then gently destemmed and crushed. Fermentation and maceration took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks with regular punch downs and pump overs. To preserve fresh, juicy fruit character, the wine was vinified without oak and matured in a combination of stainless steel and concrete vats. Light fining and filtration were applied before bottling to maintain aromatic intensity.. Tasting Notes. This vibrant red wine displays a ruby red colour with violet nuances. The nose shows an expressive bouquet of juicy strawberries, blackberries and cherries, complemented by subtle spice. On the palate, velvety tannins provide a smooth, structured mouthfeel, while lively acidity balances the ripe fruit and carries the flavours to a long, harmonious finish.. Perfect Pairings. A versatile food wine, perfect with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, hearty pasta dishes, mature cheeses, or Portuguese cuisine. Also excellent with grilled meats and casual dining.. The Blend. Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional from Douro Superior, Portugal
