Papa Figos Red

Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos Red

Tasting Notes

Complex notes of black and red fruit combined with a resin balsamic aroma, cocoa and chocolate. Good body with round tannins, well- integrated acidity and a long, quite elegant finish.

Varieties

30% Tinta Roriz, 30% Tinta Barroca, 25% Touriga Franca, 15% Touriga Nacional

Technical Notes

The grapes were sourced from the Douro Superior sub-region from vineyards with northern exposure and at a higher altitude (1,250 feet). After being destemmed and lightly crushed, the grapes are gravity transferred into stainless steel vats, where the alcoholic fermentation process takes place. The wine then undergoes smooth maceration and malolactic fermentation, also in stainless steel tanks, prior to the final blending.

Food Pairing

Ideal with meat dishes but is versatile enough to also pair with white meat and roasted fish.

Did you know fact

With its bright and attractive colors, the Papa Figos is one of the rarest birds in the Douro. This bird's unique and rare character is the perfect inspiration for this magnificent wine. Papa Figos is both an elegant and vibrant, classic, yet modern wine that accurately reflects the values of Casa Ferreirinha, the brand with the longest tradition in producing high quality Douro wines and one of the greatest references in the region.
