Arbutus Spirit Metrúnia José Maria da Fonseca 75cl

Arbutus Spirit is a traditional fruit brandy made from the fruit of the arbutus (strawberry tree), typical of the Algarve hills in Portugal. Strawberry trees grow wild in poor soils in rural regions, such as the Alentejo and inland Algarve. They produce a delicate, fruity and smooth brandy.

A family business with almost two centuries of history, and one that has known how to stay up-to-date without ever sitting back on its laurels. José Maria da Fonseca has been making wines since 1834, resulting from the shared passion of a family that has known how to preserve and project the memory and the prestige of its founder. Well aware of the responsibility of being the oldest producer of table wine and Setúbal Moscatel in Portugal, José Maria da Fonseca follows a philosophy of permanent development, constantly investing in research and production, combining the latest techniques with traditional know-how. An example of this is the José de Sousa Rosado Fernandes Winery, at Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo, where the Roman tradition of clay pot fermentation is maintained alongside the latest technology.
