Favaios in the heart of the Douro Valley is a cooperative with many top quality associates who care and look after each one of their grapes with passion. They started this association in 1952 and the winery combines new technology with the region's centuries old winemaking traditions, which makes all the difference in the quality of their wines. Wines from the Douro are typically slighter higher in price but at Adega de Favaios they manage to focus on quality at a lower price. No compromises are made they simply embrace the future by taking care of the past. Some of their wines are certified vegan and in 2018 they were hailed as “One of the best tasting spots on the Douro river cruise” by The Telegraph.
TASTING NOTES
Tradition says…. “Bags” of aromatics in Douro blends. You won’t be disappointed with this wine. The liquorish, blueberries, plums and medley dark of ripe berries coming all in one sense.
On the palate it has a good structure and lively acidity opening your taste buds. Not only fresh red fruit but also fresh spices that develop to a slightly liquorish freshness side. Clean, fresh, well balanced and appealing tannins. As the white a great value for money wine.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Easy wine to enjoy with friends and really food friendly as well. Think of tomato/pepper sauces, grilled options, cheeses and even some wine and cinnamon steamed plums and pears.
