Details and technical informations about Winery Quinta do Gago's Casal Faria Colheita Seleccionada.
Discover the grape variety: Bogazkere
Powerful, tannic reds with an almost black ink-dark robe, firm, astringent tannins and a dense palate, showing intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, leather, spices, tobacco and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Star of the great Turkish reds on the arid terroirs of south-east Anatolia (Diyarbakır region, Tigris valley), often blended with öküzgözü to soften its structure. Autochthonous Anatolian variety, its name means "throat-burner" in Turkish.

The word of the wine: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
