- Description
An unmistakable classic of Quinta do Zambujeiro!
In the glass, Terra glows a rich, impenetrable dark red. Intense and deep in scent, reminiscent of boiled plums, cedar, violets, roses, dried orange peel, dark chocolate, and some incense. The palate is rich, full, fine, creamy fruit extract, pleasantly mild acidity, solid tannins, enormous length. Lots of fruit and some dark chocolate in the finish. A wine to relax and enjoy!

QUINTA DO ZAMBUJEIRO
Over 20 years full of magical moments
Founded in 1998 by Emil Strickler. 40 hectares of vineyards are planted with Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and others.
In 1999 brothers Alain and Philippe Bramaz pressed the first wine for winery owner Emil Strickler. Only 6,000 kilograms of grapes were processed in a provisionally prepared cellar. Everything was done by hand. Frequent power outages and unruly helpers did not make things any easier, and the still-sensitive baby wine had to be vigorously protected until it was finally in the safe barrels.
20 years later, history, the winery is perfectly organized, the team is highly motivated, and the working conditions are excellent. The wine is still made entirely by hand, with each grape picked by hand and rigorously sorted on conveyor belts. The work is done very close to nature in the vineyard.
