2024Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos Tinto is a refined red from Portugal’s celebrated Douro region, an area renowned for its dramatic terraced vineyards and schist-rich soils. While globally famous for Port, the Douro has firmly established itself as a source of structured, characterful dry reds that combine depth with freshness.
The wine is crafted from a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, typically including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. Touriga Nacional provides structure and aromatic intensity; Touriga Franca adds elegance and balance; Tinta Roriz contributes body and backbone; and Tinta Barroca lends roundness and approachability. Together, the blend reflects the layered complexity and harmony that define modern Douro reds.
Produced by Casa Ferreirinha - one of the region’s most historic and influential estates - Papa Figos continues a legacy dating back to the 18th century. The winery has played a pivotal role in elevating Douro table wines, combining heritage with modern precision to craft wines of authenticity and consistency.
