Wines from the Setúbal region toast the cold weather
28/01/2025The Setúbal Peninsula welcomes the cold weather with new launches that highlight the excellence of its red wines, including novelties from Casa Ermelinda Freitas and José Maria da Fonseca. From Casa Ermelinda Freitas comes Bocage Red Blend 2022, a young, intense wine with rich tannins and aromas of ripe black fruit and spices. With a touch of vanilla from the wood, it is ideal to accompany meat dishes, cheeses and sausages.
In celebration of its 190th anniversary, José Maria da Fonseca is presenting two new references in the Domingos Soares Franco Private Collection: DSF Castelão 2015 and DSF Syrah 2021. Castelão 2015 stands out for its elegance and rusticity, with notes of eucalyptus and spices, soft tannins and excellent ageing potential. DSF Syrah 2021, with its aromas of black fruits and spices, is balanced, fruity and with soft tannins, and is also a wine with great longevity. These launches reflect the creativity and passion of winemaker Domingos Soares Franco, reaffirming José Maria da Fonseca’s commitment to innovation and the region’s winemaking tradition.
In addition to the usual sales outlets, these new products can also be found in the wine tourism stores of the respective producers.
