Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, inviting color with a rich, polished appearance. The nose leans toward ripe red fruit, with a warm, sun-kissed profile and subtle spice notes that reflect its generous style. On the palate, this is a full-bodied and satisfying red with plenty of red fruit, soft tannins, and a smooth, rounded finish. The balance of ripeness and freshness gives it immediate appeal, while its structure suggests it can also develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Casa Ermelinda Freitas is based on the Setúbal Peninsula, south of Lisbon, where vineyards benefit from long hours of sunshine tempered by cooling Atlantic influence at night. This combination helps produce ripe, expressive fruit while preserving enough freshness for balance. The winery is known for working with both local and internationally recognized grape varieties, combining regional identity with a modern, polished vinification style.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine with grilled lamb, roast beef, braised meats, or hearty Mediterranean dishes such as baked eggplant and tomato-based stews. It is best enjoyed slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and a short period of decanting is recommended if you want to bring out more of its aromatic depth and soften the texture further.

Producer
Casa Ermelinda Freitas is one of Portugal’s most respected family-run producers, with a strong presence in the Setúbal Peninsula. Over the years, the estate has built a reputation for quality across a wide range of wines, from traditional regional expressions to more internationally styled bottlings. Its success has made it an important name in the area and a consistent source of well-made, characterful wines.
