2018 | Casa da Passarella | O Fugitivo Curtimenta Branco

A light color wine. There is a long, elegant finish that displays the wine's great complexity. As it warms, it adds waves of flavor, leading to a conclusion that is intense both in structure and in fruit. This burly white very definitely needs food. Concentrated and gripping, this should age very well, maybe more than anticipated.

Producer Information

11 years. That was the exact time it took to design, grow and mature a wine created to receive the name Casa da Passarella and perpetuate our heritage, which spans well over a century. Because in reality he carries with him the responsibility of more than 130 years of our history. It was born from our own seven vineyards, which include several centuries-old plots, and which have an unusual variety of more than 20 indigenous grape varieties, as was customary in the first decades of the 20th century. A careful selection of the plots to be harvested was made, as well as the choice of the exact moment for the harvest, in the first week of October 2009. then, in spring 2011, it began a long process of maturation in the bottle. Nine years of waiting gave rise to a ruby ​​red wine, intense and of great aromatic complexity, where red fruit with spices and a balsamic touch predominates. From the vineyard to the wine, this 2009 Harvest is the heir of fascinating stories - of traditions that were shared, from parents to children, both by great names in Portuguese oenology from the past, and by humble and wise people for whom these lands have no secrets. .
