Tasting Notes
"A rich blend of 50-50 Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet, the wine has a dense color accompanied by dense tannins and dark black fruits. Wood aging has softened the tannins although they do have a ways to go. Drink from 2022."

Mr. Joaquim Mascarenhas Fiuza was the 11th generation of the Fronteira Family . He was the father of the present owners of the company and was the person responsible for the creation and development of the Fiuza Brand. The company started operating in the beginning of the 20th century when Mr. Joaquim Mascarenhas Fiuza and his uncle begun to produce wine on the family estates. Mr. Joaquim Mascarenhas Fiuza had two passions: Winemaking and Sailing, and during is long life (he lived 102 years) he was able to develop both in an enthusiastic way.
