2005 Passagem, Quinta de la Rosa

A joint venture between the Bergqvists and their winemaker at La Rosa, Jorge Moreira. Passagem refers to an old railway crossing, also, metaphorically to a crossing of cultures (English and Portuguese) and a synergy between the maker and the market. Young Touriga Nacional vines located in the new vineyard of Bandeiras,which, despite their youth, have yielded a ripe and balanced wine, its tannins informed by fruit, its structure already harmonious.
