O Produtor, tasting note published in September 23rd 2023

With a red rubi color, it shows aromas of red fruits, spices and some toast. On the palate, it presents soft tannins, being very elegant, with a long finish. A wine of great character.

Quinta das Cerejeiras

It is a classic and traditional wine, on the market since 1926, produced only in the best years.

Winemaking: The grapes are hand-harvested, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with gentle maceration of the pomace after partial destemming. The fermentation process is slow, lasting 15 days, followed by an extended aging period, initially in new 250L French oak barrels and then in used 300L barrels. After bottling, it ages in the bottle for 2 to 3 years before being released.

Bottling: After 24 months of aging in French and American oak barrels.

Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal

Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal (CAS) was established by Abel Pereira da Fonseca in 1926 to administrate the estates that he owned in the region of Bombarral since the beginning of the century, still belonging to the same family.
He planted his first stand-alone vineyards (i.e. vines with no other fruit tree in between) aligned and wired, which was considered very innovating at the time, as there were no tractors. Vineyards were divided into plots, each planted with one sole variety (which was also new at the time). He introduced new varieties. In a separate plot at Quinta do Sanguinhal, he planted 30 different varieties to study their adaptability.
The company has undergone modernization over the past few years: vines were re-established based on traditional varieties as well as new varieties to meet market demand; wine-making and bottling facilities have experienced major investments at technological and equipment levels. The traditional ageing in French and American oak is nonetheless still used.
