Vinha do Fava Reserva 2022

On first release, this Reserva edition red was a big hit, especially with those who’d already fallen for Vinha do Fava – a pure Touriga Nacional from Casa Ermelinda Freitas. The debut of the Reserva marked the 100th anniversary of. The award-winning estate, one proud to have been run by three generations of women, with the much-acclaimed Leonor Freitas in charge today, assisted by her daughter, Joana. Their spellbinding Reserva is a blend of Castelão, from the property’s oldest vineyards, Touriga Nacional, from the famed Fava vineyard, and Alicante Bouschet lending trademark fruitiness. Ageing in French and US oak barrels seasons the dark fruit with exotic spice. Like the centenary it was first created to mark, Vinha do Fava Reserva is a memorable red – intense, velvety and textured. Food matches are best hearty!
