PRESENTATION OF THE WINERY
A series of factors make Quinta do Panascal an exceptional vineyard. Its expansive and steep hillside facing west and southwest ensures that the entire vineyard receives ample sunlight. The vines on the lower, steeper slopes near the Távora River are surrounded by the still-warm air trapped between the steep banks of the narrow valley.
In this area, known as Torrão, the wines are dense, velvety, and delicious, with powerful dark fruit intertwined with flavors of licorice and chocolate. On the upper slopes, rising to about 400 meters above sea level, the gradient is gentler, and the vines are cooled by the wind, producing more elegant, finely perfumed wines with vibrant acidity. These varying altitudes allow the estate to craft wines that blend rich and powerful fruit with aromatic complexity, which is the cornerstone of Fonseca's distinctive style.
