Casa da Passarella O Fugitivo Uva-Cão White

A concept for wines that happen. For unique conditions in unique years. For a constant concern, a challenge to all standards. They could be called “collection wines”, but they are mostly wines to be found. And above all, discovered. Present exclusively in the old vineyards of Serra da Estrela, and famous for its high levels of acidity, this variety was usually planted at the entrance of the vineyards – definitely not the best grape to eat. Its name says it all: Uva-Cão, the “grape that guards the vine”. To the most curious and the most sensitive, a warning – the acidity of this wine is remarkable! Vinification in a cement vat, with aging in 500 Lts used barrels. Citrine color, aroma of enormous freshness and elegant, delicate mouth and great complexity. Long aftertaste. Contains sulfites.

From a single vineyard with 80 years is born the wine of Dão Casa da Passarella O Énologo – Vinhas Velhas, so it is through him that we intend to assume the unique terroir of that plot.

Harvesting is manual and made only once, with fermentation of the entire blend of grapes made in a traditional cement tank. Fruit of the natural balance given by the vineyard, the fermentation takes place spontaneously, without any necessity of correction of the must.

Casa da Passarella A Descoberta White

The mystery of the box found inside one of the walls of Casa da Passarella is finally solved. The story begins in 1942, when a box is hidden in one of the rooms of Casa da Passarella, containing a handwritten document with instructions to be opened 50 years later. The document also contained a last will: that all the values
stored in the box should be distributed ny the poor. The truth is that neither of these things happened. Only in 2010, when the Gouse suffered works, the box was found and opened. And there was nothing inside. The investigations went forward, without ever having unraveled the mystery. When resignation seemed to overcome persistence, a specialist in the unusual was called to the scene: ” the box was indeed replete,” explained Professor K.Noronha, “but not tangible, material things, an extraordinary essence that, reacting with the times to come, would bring happiness through wine to all who made art and profit. “Now, these times are already part of the present, and this is a double discovery”.
