Sour cherry from Óbidos Oppidum 10cl

When Mr. Dário decided to continue his father's art, he didn't just want it to bear fruit. Previous generations took care of these, selling the local production of sour cherries, famous for their unique quality, to supply the most renowned liqueur producers located (still today) in Lisbon and Alcobaça. I wanted to transform them into a noble product, far above average, without unnecessary additions and frivolities typical of the time, that time when artificial colorings were an added value, proudly displayed in a golden seal on everything on the label.

It was knowledge inherited through oral tradition. It was a burning passion for the land and everything that embraces it. It was the desire to see an entire culture of its own reflected in the ruby tones of the best sour cherry liqueur. On this ridge overlooking the Óbidos Lagoon, an entire West can fit. And it tastes like the Portugal of Other Times.

Oppidum was born, with due humility, in 1987. It did not grow with desires for greatness, but rather with the refinement of the palate of an audience whose demands grow in line with an increasingly vast offering. But where singularity wanes. This will always remain the Oppidum emblem. The best of the best. It's not gold. It's crimson.
