This wine is made from old vines grown in the Douro Valley, a region known for its rugged terrain and extreme climate.

The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including foot-treading and aging in oak barrels.

Its bold and distinctive style makes it a standout choice for wine enthusiasts looking for something truly special.

ORIGINS

Winery: Folias de Baco

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
