The focus is on expressing the unique terroir of Ninfa. Planted with six hectares of southward facing vineyards north of the Tejo river, Ninfa's grapes are grown on clay-limestone topsoil over a bed of salt rock. This combination gives Ninfa its distinctive style that offers elegance and refinement in each bottle.
Maria Gomes
Also known as Fernao Pires, this is an aromatic white grape variety that is grown across Portugal but is particuarly important to Tejo. Maria Gomes is a versatile grape made mainly into dry white wines but can also be used as a base for both sparkling and dessert wines. This particular wine offers plenty of exotic fruits on the palate with citrus acidity on the finish. This balanced white wine would be brilliant with white meat dishes such as chicken and turkey.
Colheita Red
Made from a blend of Alfrocheiro, Aragonês, & Tourgia Nacional, this sumptuous red offers the sweet blackberry and black cherry fruits of Touriga Nacional. On the palate is an intense floral character of violets and hibiscus. The tanins offer up a firm finish. The black berry fruits in this wine make it an ideal match for food such as duck and venison.
