The Portuguese VIP GOURMET magazine in its issue of December 1st selected the 40 best wines of 2012, having chosen three DFJ wines:
MONTE ALENTEJANO Reserva red 2010
GRAND’ARTE ARINTO white Lisboa 2011
GRAND’ARTE TOURIGA NACIONAL red Lisboa 2009
Here's the appreciation of each of the awarded wines by VIP Gourmet:
MONTE ALENTEJANO Reserva red 2010
Ruby color, with smooth and complex aroma, combining ripe fruit and oak. Great as an aperitif and to accompany meals of meat, game, dry and matured cheeses and fish in the oven or cod.
GRAND’ARTE ARINTO white Lisboa 2011
Very aromatic, fruity, rich, with good acidity that gives it an excellent freshness and a pleasant and persistent end of tasting. It is a perfect aperitif as complement of fresh cheeses, seafood and fish dishes.
GRAND’ARTE TOURIGA NACIONAL red Lisboa 2009
It’s a powerful, complex, delicious and smoky wine with notes of blackberry, finishing intense, elegant and tasty. Excellent with meat dishes, cheeses and Italian gastronomy.
Again the DFJ work is recognized.
