About Casa Ferreirinha ‘Callabriga’ Douro Tinto
Casa Ferreirinha Callabriga Douro Tinto, Portugal
This Portuguese red wine is rich and densely concentrated, with ripe cherry, plum and blackberry layered with cedar, truffle and earthy notes. Silky tannins and fresh acidity bring elegance and balance, leading to a long, flavoursome finish.
Still young, this is a red wine with excellent ageing potential. Decant before serving, or open the bottle one to two hours before drinking, to allow its vibrant red fruit and spice to unfold. A lovely choice for a special occasion, paired with roast beef, lamb or mushroom dishes.
Casa Ferreirinha is a pioneer of Douro table wines, with a history dating back to the first vintage of Barca-Velha in 1952. Callabriga is a blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz from Quinta da Leda and neighbouring vineyards in the Douro Superior. Winemaker Luis Sottomayor ages the wine for 12 months in American and French oak, bringing depth to the fruit while keeping its freshness. Pair this elegant Douro red with roast lamb, slow-cooked beef or mushroom dishes.
