Grapes: Castelão

Deep and concentrated aroma. The Castelão variety at its best with notes of black fruits, jam and spices. Complex in the mouth with slight nuances of tobacco and chocolate from the 18-month aging in French oak barrels. It is a very full-bodied wine, with present tannins and an elegant aftertaste.

Ideal with stewed meat dishes, game, oven roasts, strong cheeses and Foie gras.

Description

The company, started in 1920 by Deonilde Freitas, continued by Germana Freitas and later by Ermelinda Freitas, has always paid special attention to wine. Due to the early disappearance of her husband, Manuel João de Freitas, Ermelinda continued the company with the collaboration of her only daughter, Leonor, who, although with training outside the wine sector, took the leadership of the company, thus reinforcing the female presence in its management.

Since the first generation, this house has focused on the quality of its vineyards and wines, which were initially produced and sold in bulk without its own brand. It was with the current management that the big change of creating our own brands took place. Thus, in 1997, a new cycle began with the red “Terras do Pó”, the first wine produced and bottled by Casa Ermelinda Freitas.

Big Milestones

For her work, Leonor Freitas was awarded on June 10, 2009 with the Order of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Merit Class of Agricultural Merit Commander by His Excellency the President of the Republic Aníbal Cavaco Silva.
