2013 Casa Ermelinda Freitas Leo d'Honor red
Free shipping to Description
The Leo D'Honor is a red wine made exclusively from the Castelão grape, sourced from a vineyard over 60 years old in Fernando Pó, one of Palmela's most renowned wine-growing areas. It displays intense aromas of black fruit, jam and spices, complemented by elegant notes of tobacco and chocolate from 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a long, refined finish, it is a distinctive expression of the true potential of the Castelão variety.
Started in 1920 by Deonilde Freitas, continued by Germana Freitas and later by Ermelinda Freitas, it has always paid special attention to wine. Since the first generation, this house has been committed to the quality of the vineyards and the wines, which were initially produced and sold in bulk without its own brand.
It was with the current management, Leonor Freitas, that the great change occurred and, in 1997, a new cycle began for this centuries-old family business, with the first wine produced and bottled under the name Casa Ermelinda Freitas.
