HISTORY: In 1897, architects from Eiffel designed the first building at Quinta da Fonte Bela - the ADEGA (Wine cellar). After 101 years, DFJ VINHOS was born in this unique place in Portugal, home to storks in the middle of a warm sandy plain next to the Tagus River. In 2017 we planted 50ha of vines of red and white varieties. In the label watercolor, the Fonte Bela fountain presents the biodiversity that surrounds us and that we strive to maintain. We hope you like and share this rich and unique wine.

Classic fermentation method with destemming and pre fermentative skin contact followed of the application of dry yeasts. Fermentation up to 30º C in the first 2/3, and lowering down to 20º C during the last 1/3. During the whole fermentative process, pumping over 2 times per day, using each time half of the volume contained in the vat. After the alcoholic fermentation, the cap is plunged for 30 days, and during that period, extraction of the gentle tannins is conducted, along with the malolactic fermentation and the natural stabilization of the wine.
Wine is aged in French new oak barrels of 225 Lt for 2 months.
It's a medium deep red, aromatic, with a harmonious balance between red and black fruits. In the tasting it’s rich, smooth, tasty and intense, with a long, persistent and elegant finish.
Perfect with petiscos tapas, sausages, stews, red meats and cheeses. Good pairing with typical Italian and Portuguese cuisine, grilled cod and salmon are great complements. We suggest to serve at a temperature of 14-16º C.
