Tasting Notes
"This is a serious, structured wine with its firm tannins still in place. The rich, black plum fruits and layers of acidity still need a little time to develop and lessen the dryness of this wine. The aftertaste reveals a more juicy side."

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.
