New vintages (2021) of Moscatel Roxo Rosé and Verdelho from the Private Collection of winemaker Domingos Soares Franco launched
19/09/2022José Maria da Fonseca has launched the two new vintages from the DSF Private Collection to taste during the new season: the Moscatel Roxo Rosé and the Verdelho 2021. This range of wines perfectly reflects the passion, creative spirit and dedication that winemaker Domingos Soares Franco, awarded last year with the award for personality of the year in wine and winemaker of the year for fortified wines, imposes on his creations, for an authentic experience.
Coming from clay-limestone soils, the Colecção Privada DSF Moscatel Roxo Rosé 2021 is a wine characterized by its freshness and uniqueness, because it is produced using a noble and very rare grape variety. With an aromatic persistence of white roses, this rosé has a light salmon color and reveals a long palate with floral notes.
The Colecção Privada DSF Verdelho 2021 is a persistent and balanced white with floral aromas of lantanas and exotic fruits. Citrus yellow in color and coming from clay-limestone soils, this wine has a fresh and exotic palate, in harmony with the aromas on the nose.
«In all the Private Collection vintages I have complete freedom and creativity to decide which wines I will make and how I will make them. This allows me to get various ideas and inspirations resulting in creations of unique and differentiating wines», says Domingos Soares Franco.
