Fiuza, Tinta Miuda

AVAILABILITY: 24 in stock

Fiuza, Tinta Miuda has a deep ruby colour in the glass. On the nose, you'll find ripe black fruits with layers of oak. This wine really shines on the palate where it is fruit-forward and ample, with a pleasant grip of acidity and a silky texture that carries through to a lingering, well-structured finish. Pair it with hearty meat dishes, game, or punchy cheeses that won't back down from what this wine has to offer. Best enjoyed at 16–18°C.

About the Producer

The Fiuza Family has been producing wine from their own vineyards for more than a century in two of their estates located in the Tejo Region. The father, Joaquim Mascarenhas Fiuza, of the current owners is responsible for raising the standards. Besides his family he had two passions: Winemaking and Sailing, and during his long life (he lived 102 years) he was able to develop both with a joie de vivre.

He achieved glory as a skilled sailor, competing in 3 Olympic Games, 4 World Cups, and 6 European Cups. Noteworthy accomplishments include the Bronze medal in 1952 Helsinki Olympics, two Golds at the 1957 and 1958 European Cups, 4th place in 1952 World Cup, and 9 National Championships.

Fiuza was also a pioneer in growing French grape varieties in Portugal, and specializes in mono-varietal wines. Their portfolio combines Portuguese and international grapes, sourced from two estates: Quinta da Requeixada and Quinta da Granja. The most prominent red varietals used are Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah.

Vineyard and Winery
