The Casa Ermelinda Freitas Fat Baron Shiraz 2024 is a full-bodied, juicy red wine from sunny southern Portugal. This modern Shiraz combines ripe fruit, soft tannins, and a hint of spice for an accessible, rich wine with a wonderfully rounded flavor. Perfect for those who enjoy smooth, fruit-driven red wines with a warm Mediterranean character.

Origin & grape

The wine comes from the Península de Setúbal region, south of Lisbon, where the warm climate and salty Atlantic breezes ensure perfect ripeness for the Shiraz grape. The soils consist of sand and clay, which contribute to concentration and soft tannins. Casa Ermelinda Freitas is a family-run winery known for its expressive, modern wines that remain true to their Portuguese origins.

Vinification & style

  • Fermentation: at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit aromas.
  • Maturation: several months in American oak to give the wine a subtle touch of vanilla and spices.
  • Style: full and velvety smooth, with plenty of ripe fruit and a hint of spice.

Tasting Note – Casa Ermelinda Freitas Fat Baron Shiraz 2024

The finish is long and smooth, with a pleasant spiciness. An irresistible Shiraz that combines power with drinking pleasure.

Wine and food pairings

  • Meat dishes: grilled entrecote, rack of lamb or spare ribs with barbecue sauce.
  • Pasta & stews: lasagna, spicy stews or chili con carne.
  • Cheeses: old cheese, cheddar or blue cheese.
