Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos Douro Red

Papa Figos has a deep ruby-red hue. It displays an intense bouquet, with a prevalence of ripe red fruits and discreet notes of cocoa, a characteristic of the vintages when the grapes achieve optimum maturation. The wine displays a fine complexity with notes of well-integrated oak ageing, the result of several years of maturation in top quality oak. The palate has a fine body, well-integrated acidity, fine-quality tannins and a conspicuous presence of ripe red fruits, with a balanced, harmonious finish.

Of all birds in the Douro, the golden oriole (papa-figos in Portuguese) is one of the rarest, and one of the most spectacular! It is a migrant bird with lively and attractive plumage that, during Spring, seeks out the coolness of the creeks and finds this ideal habitat at Ribeira de Aguiar in Quinta da Leda. This bird’s unique
character is the perfect inspiration for Casa Ferreirinha’s latest wine. Papa Figos is an elegant and, at the same time, vibrant wine, classical and simultaneously modern, that displays the essential values of Casa Ferreirinha. It displays a singular and sophisticated touch to a Douro red that can be enjoyed every day. Casa Ferreirinha is recognized as the brand with the greatest tradition for making top quality Douro wines and is renowned as a standard-bearer for this region throughout the world.
