Pasmados Garrafeira White
This wine comes from the exclusive Quinta dos Pasmados region, in Azeitão. In 1998, the landmark decision was made to replace the Chardonnay grape variety with Viosinho, with the origin of Arinto and Esgana also being changed from clay-limestone soils to sandy soils. In 2005, with the aim of improving the complexity of the wine, the Viognier variety, cultivated in our vineyards for over 40 years, was added. Around 1999, winemaker Domingos Soares Franco came across several bottles of Pasmados White from 1963 in the cellars. Displaying a yellowish tone that testified to its natural aging, the aroma revealed evolution, remaining fine, velvety and subtly fruity. On the palate, it stands out for its pleasantness and surprisingly well structured, presenting exceptional quality and notable acidity. Inspired by this discovery, Domingos Soares Franco then decided to test the production of a Pasmados with aging potential, using the 1963 as a reference. The best vintages are stored in the cellar, small quantities of bottles being sold again years later under the almost forgotten name of Garrafeira. Also rescuing Garrafeira's classification, Pasmados Garrafeira was born. Contains sulfites.

José de Sousa Magnum Red
At the José de Sousa winery, some ancestral winemaking techniques are still used, the most emblematic being the use of carving in the fermentation of the grapes. The essentials of carving winemaking have changed little in recent centuries. In this wine, a small part is made according to this Roman process, the red grapes previously trodden by foot and hand-de-stemmed on a table called “mesa de ripanço”. Afterwards, a small part of the must, the skins and the stalk are fermented in clay pots, and another in vats. The remainder of the brand is fermented in stainless steel vats. The use of jars gives spices and a third dimension to the wine. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a 4-week pellicular maceration, followed by a 9-month aging period in French and American oak casks. Deep red color, with aromas of dates, hay, plums, toasted bread, a little clove, oak wood, vanilla, chocolate. Palate with good fruit, good acidity, present but soft tannins. Long finish.
Moscatel José Maria da Fonseca Trilogia
To celebrate the new century and the new millennium, Trilogia was created, a rare and special edition, the result of the combination of three great vintages of the 20th century, chosen by winemaker Domingos Soares Franco: 1900, 1934 and 1965. The Trilogia is limited to 13,926 bottles that were filled and placed on the market in October 1999. Enjoy in good company and on a special occasion. Following the tradition started by José Maria da Fonseca in the last century, fermentation is stopped with the addition of brandy. Skin contact lasts 5 months. In March, after the harvest, the masses are pressed and the resulting wine is then blended with the teardrop wine. The crops that make up this wine were aged in used oak barrels.

José de Sousa Puro Talha Red
In the cellar José de Sousa still some ancestor techniques of vinification are used, being the most emblematic the use of the carving in the fermentation of the grapes. The essence of small-scale winemaking has changed in over two thousand years. In this process, the grapes previously crushed on foot are stoned by hand on a ripening table. The fermentation takes place with 30% of the stalks, in hoists with an average capacity of 1,600 liters at a temperature that is around 28ºC, being controlled by watering the hoists 4 times a day. The fermentation takes approximately 8 days, leaving the wine in maceration after fermentation until November. After the pressing of the masses, part is staged in hoists for a period of around 16 months in which an olive oil film is used to prevent oxidation. The other part was stamped on 500-liter brown casks. At the same time, the rest of the stall was fermented in a "task" (small carving with capacity of 300 liters) with a little must. This product is called ripening wine because it is the result of this ancestral technique of manual destemming. This wine is used in the final lot as "salt and pepper". Color reddish brown, aroma of nuts, spices (black pepper, cloves), clay, liqueur, evolved but not oxidized. Taste robust, dry, good acidity, very balanced, tannins present but soft. Long and persistent end of test. Contains Sulfites.
