Casa Ermelinda is a true family winery. For four generations, the Freitas family has been passionately crafting its wines. The winery's current, immense dimensions began to take shape in the 1980s. It is located on the Peninsula de Setubal, the peninsula above the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. Here, the winery boasts an impressive 240 hectares of vineyards, making it one of the largest wineries in Portugal. While Portuguese wines are known for their exquisite local grape varieties, Casa Ermelinda has also created ample space for international varieties, such as the spicy Shiraz, the main ingredient in this Casa Ermelinda Sand Stone Shiraz.
The climate in Portugal is exceptionally well-suited to winegrowing. Besides a wide range of local grape varieties—which Portugal champions—Casa Ermelinda also offers a wide selection of well-known names. Among them is Shiraz, a grape originally from the Côtes du Rhone. The spicy character of Shiraz perfectly complements the temperament of the Portuguese soil. So, brace yourself for this Casa Ermelinda Sand Stone Shiraz. A four-month oak aging process is rounded out by a short bottle aging. After this, Casa Ermelinda Sand Stone Shiraz becomes a spectacle from start to finish. Plenty of spice, distinctive herbs, and overripe red fruit. A delight for the taste buds that will keep you savouring.
