With bright and attractive colors, Papa Figos is one of the rarest birds in the Douro. The unique and rare character of this bird is the perfect inspiration for this magnificent red wine from Casa Ferreirinha.

Viticultural Year: Dry and cold winter. In spring, except for the month of April, precipitation values ​​were below the climatological normal and temperatures were mild, which allowed for budbreak in good conditions. In summer, temperatures were mild, without major heat peaks, with some episodes of precipitation, which favored a long and balanced maturation end, allowing the production of high quality wines.

Ideal to accompany meat dishes. Being a very gastronomic wine, it can also accompany white meats or oven-roasted fish
