Wine Description:
Rooted in a winemaking legacy dating to the early 20th century, the Fiuza family partnered with Australian winemaker Peter Bright in 1985 to establish their eponymous winery. Pioneers in planting French varietals in Portugal, they crafted the Silent Oak blend, marrying Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet. Brimming with notes of spice, mint, and vibrant cherries and raspberries, it promises to warm even the chilliest moments. The name, Silent Oak, pays homage to the Portuguese Cork trees, adding a touch of cultural significance to this rich and flavorful wine from the Fiuza family's innovative vineyard.
