A new Portuguese red from the JP Ramos Group, led by oenologist and producer Jo?o Portugal Ramos, is soon to be stocked on the shelves of Waitrose nationwide.
The F?OZ Vinho Regional is from the Alentejo, and has been developed exclusively for Waitrose.
A blend of Aragonez and Trincadeira, the selected grapes are grown on the JP Ramos estate in Estremoz.
The resulting wine has a fruity character dominated by black plums and a smooth finish.
Ramos said: ?Our vision is to produce some of the best modern wines in Portugal from the very heart of the Alentejo region and we are delighted to be able to apply this philosophy to creating a wine for Waitrose.
?We use a mixture of modern and traditional wine making techniques which gives fruit forward wines with lots of character such as the F?OZ.?
F?OZ, which means estuary in Portuguese, is a tribute to the rivers of Portugal present in the regions where the JP Ramos Group produce wines, like the Guadiana (Alentejo), Mondego (Beiras), Douro (Douro), Tagus (Tejo) and Minho (Vinho Verde) rivers.
The combination of schist and limestone clay soils in the Alentejo, together with a climate that is largely continental, make for consistent harvests and good conditions for wine growing.
The F?OZ will retail at ?9.99 and is available now.
