• The Wine:  This wine is a tribute paid by the grandchildren of Comendador Delfim Ferreira, who have prepared it with particular care in both the harvesting of the grapes and the entire winemaking process itself. They have dedicated it to their grandfather, a character that still provides us with inspiration today and is worthy of such continued homage. This black fruity wine is full-bodied and complex. It lingers in the mouth, and features solid tannins and a potential for ageing.


• Grape Varieties:  Field Blend from our old vines from Quinta dos Frades Estate with over 23 different varieties such as Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela, Tinta da Barca, Tinta Carvalha, Tinta Francisca, Tinto Cão, Bastardo, Rufete and Donzelinho.
