I sat down with Filipe Ferreira who is the owner + winemaker at Quinta da Foz in Douro, Portugal in town for the exclusive annual Top Drop event. Because of very tight scheduling we had limited time together but boy, we sure covered a lot of ground!
Originally from the Dão region, he saw huge potential in this winery founded by the Calem family over 150 years ago and took over the reins in 2014. With a total of 20 acres plus vines over 80 years old, along with 30+ indigenous varietals planted, he has worked the vineyards for over a decade and developed a wine program which underscores the regions' status as a top UNESCO World Heritage designated site and area for viticulture the world over.
Are you curious about Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz grapes? Foot-stomping in massive granite lagares or what makes the Iberian Peninsula so ideally suited to this ancient tradition of winemaking for over 2000 years? Have a listen and gain insight from this passionate Portuguese winemaker.
