Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos 2021 White

€ 12.95

Only very lightly oaked, this is a creamy textured tasty dry white from Portugal, with a good balance of gently aromatic, crisp fruit and body

The oriole - in Portuguese papa figos - is one of the rarest birds in the Douro and therefore very special. The perfect name for a wine that impresses with its complex aroma. Papa Figos Branco has a bright citrus color. The nose is intense and complex, with notes of white fruit, light floral and light citrus notes. On the palate it has good volume, firm and well-integrated acidity, notes of white fruit and citrus. Harmonious in the aftertaste

Food pairing

The ideal aperitif and companion with salads and fish dishes

Grapes: 45% Rabigato, 20% Viosinho, 15% Arinto, 12% Códega do Larinho, 5% Gouveio, 3% Moscatel

The grapes used for this wine come from the Douro Superior sub-region, in particular from Quinta da Leda, and from winegrowers with vineyards that prefer northern and high altitudes. The optimal point of ripening of grapes and acidity was rigorously controlled. After gentle crushing and de-zipping, the grapes were transferred to stainless steel tanks. After the last fermentation, a maturation time of 6 months followed in stainless steel tanks. To maintain the highest possible quality, the wine was only subjected to light clarification and filtering prior to bottling
