Constantino Ramos Zafirah Tinto

Description

Zafirah aims to revive the ancient traditions of red wines produced in the Monção region. These wines were already described in the charter granted by D. Afonso III to the town of Monção (1286). In fact, several historical records mention the export of Monção’s red wine to England during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, where it served as a substitute for the famed Burgundy wines—an indication of the quality of this once‑prominent regional red. To bring this style back to life, we used a vineyard over 70 years old that still employs a trellis canopy system. The resulting wines are open, bright and fresh, with a well‑balanced acidity, great elegance and a moderate alcohol level.
