Details and technical informations about Winery Vicente Faria's Animus Reserva.
Discover the grape variety: Franc de Haute-Saône
Light, fresh reds to drink young, with a lightly coloured clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet Jura profile. Now almost extinct, preserved in varietal conservatories for its heritage value, it bears witness to the ampelographic diversity of pre-phylloxera Jura viticulture. French autochthonous black grape from the Haute-Saône vineyard in Franche-Comté.

Also great dry Douro DOC reds, structured and deep (violet, black-fruited Touriga Nacional, elegant Touriga Franca, spicy Tinta Roriz). A few fresh Douro whites. Terraced vineyards (~40,000 ha) UNESCO on schist.
The wine region of Duriense
Portuguese IGP covering the Douro and Porto area (northeast), schist soils on vertiginous terraced slopes, dry continental climate, flexible status outside DOC. Touriga Nacional signature as red king (300+ authorised varieties): intense and floral with blackberry, black cherry, violet, garrigue, liquorice and mineral schist hint, firm tannins — noble Douro emblem. Supple Touriga Franca and spicy Tinta Roriz as complement. Fresh mineral whites and creative modern sparkling.
The word of the wine: Cinsault
Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
