Fernao Po is a family winery of Fernando Po, resulting from the joining of two families related to winemaking for four generations, Freitas & Palhoca. Since its founding by Aníbal da Silva Freitas in the '50s, the winery has grown attached to the local winemaking tradition. At that time wine was part of everyday life, inseparable from food, sold at the cellar door. Visitors arrived on weekends to stock up for the whole year, shared stories and became friends. It is this legacy that the family maintains. Fernando Po plains are famous for the high quality of the grapes that grow there. It stands out by the soft sandy layer covering clayey subsoil. Its microclimate, seasoned by the Tagus and Sado rivers, protects and facilitates the perfect ripening of the grapes. This results in wines known for good structure, body, color and, especially, the aromas. We have been choosing grape varieties through trial, in search of genuine profiled, complex gourmet wines. In the 150 acres of the family vineyards stand out 84 acres of Castelão, the flagship grape of the region. But also spicy Cabernet Sauvignon, which ripens perfectly here. And also Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Merlot, Tannat, Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez (Tempranillo) and Caladoc. White grape varieties include local Fernão Pires, Syria, Verdelho, Viosinho and Muscat
