A TRULY EXTRAORDINARY VINTAGE FOR WHITES AT JOSÉ MARIA DA FONSECA
ACCORDING TO DOMINGOS SOARES FRANCO, SENIOR WINEMAKER IN THE COMPANY, 2014 WAS THE BEST VINTAGE FOR WHITE WINES SINCE HE STARTED WORKING IN THE COMPANY OVER 30 YEARS AGO.
“2014 was an extraordinary vintage for white wines” mentions Domingos Soares Franco. According to the senior winemaker, 2014 was the best white wines vintage since he started working at José Maria da Fonseca in 1980.
The year 2014 was characterized by below average temperatures, which influenced the cycle of the vine, allowing for a slower maturation and preserving a good level of natural acidity in the grapes. This was expressed in the new vintage of the white wines at José Maria da Fonseca.
Domingos Soares Franco recently introduced the new releases of the 2014 vintage for the Setúbal Península white wines, the BSE with new look, the Periquita White, the Quinta de Camarate dry white and sweet white and also the Domingos Soares Franco Private Collection Verdelho.
