It’s RED. It’s RICH. It’s SUPERB…
Lúcia Freitas may have started making wine at the tender age of 25 but she knows her stuff alright. She grew up surrounded by vines on her family’s estate and cut her teeth at some of the best wineries in the Dão region of Portugal.
This Reserva wine has spent a year in oak barrels of varying sizes and has the body to show for it whilst retaining its vibrancy. It’s red, it’s rich and with Mariposa meaning butterfly, the caterpillar is firmly out of its cocoon and ready to take flight into this glorious Spring! Quite full on with the metaphor there, basically it’s time for the wine to be drunk.
