Casa Ferreirinha Callabriga has a very deep ruby hue. It has an intense bouquet with a prevalence of ripe red fruits as well as a presence of warming notes of cedar and tobacco, spicy notes and a discreet hint of chocolate. Top quality oak is very well integrated. In the mouth it shows a fine structure, acidity and volume, with a strong presence of red fruits and lively, fine-quality, tannins. It has a long and elegant finish.
Winemaking:
The grapes were hand-picked and vinified at Quinta da Leda.s modern winery. After full de-stemming and soft crushing they were taken to stainless steel deposits and/or robot-operated presses where fermentation took place with prolonged maceration and pumping-over under controlled temperature. A long post-fermentation maceration ensued, with the aim of obtaining the finest aromatic extraction, which enabled the transfer of the grape skin quality components into the wine.
