O Produtor, tasting note published in March 10th 2023
With a light salmon colour, the wine presents intense notes of small red fruits. Very balanced in the mouth, the fruit is present with well-matched acidity and a long finish.
Furada Pink Port is a blend produced from the oldest vineyards of Quinta da Furada.
The vines are worked by hand from pruning until the harvest which usually takes place in September. A sangria is made when the grapes enter the lagar, which then ferments in stainless steel vats. The wine is then aged in stainless steel vats.
Contains sulphites.

Furada is a farm that has belonged to the same family for at least seven generations. The present descendants are the trinkets of its heir Valério Augusto de Sousa, who saw his first son born in the house, in 1919, still inhabited today. Born in 1888, he often said that his wife had inherited from his grandparents the present houses with vineyards and olive groves surrounding them, but to which, and by the will of Phylloxera, he added another 24 sorts, by buying from 24 small neighboring landowners, then disappointed with the effects of this almost fatal disease for the Douro.
Thus enlarging Quinta da Furada which has since remained one, keeping secrets, stories, flavours and mysteries. Proof of the search for the unveiling of the secrets of this farm, and what ended up giving it its name, were the holes found in the property that denote the search for wolfram, still from Roman times.
