The Society's Portuguese Red, Península de Setúbal 2024 Bag-in-Box (3 litre)

Red Wine from Portugal - Setubal
4.000000000 star rating 4 Reviews
As featured by Olly Smith on BBC TV's Saturday Kitchen. Made for us by Casa Ermelinda Freitas south-east of Lisbon, a significant family-owned company established in 1920 and run by successive generations of dynamic women. It's a supple, juicy red to enjoy on its own or with a host of dishes. Local castelão, which is all juicy red fruits, combines with Alicante Bouschet, which brings darker black fruit and fleshiness to make a good, honest, easy-drinking house red which has proven a real hit with Society Members, now available in this wonderfully convenient bag-in-box, ideal for a glass whenever you fancy and perfect for parties. Box dimensions: 21 x 15 x 9cm.
Price: £29.00 Box (£9.67/litre)
Price: £116.00 Case of 4 (£9.67/litre)

Casa Ermelinda Freitas

The warmth of the Portuguese sun is tempered at Casa Ermelinda thanks to the breezes blowing in from the Atlantic that lies close by. Located at Palmela on the peninsula of Setubal, close to the Sado estuary south of Lisbon, there are currently 440 hectares of many different kinds of vines across the domain, with grapes supplied locally from a further 500ha or so. Head of the company Leonor Freitas has worked tirelessly to make many improvements out in the vineyards and in the winery where modern equipment goes hand in hand with traditional values under the skilled guidance of winemaker Jaime Quendera. Casa Ermelinda Freitas has been run by a long line of dynamic women, celebrating its 100 year anniversary in 2020.

"...a delicious drop. You can pour it into a jug, you can pour it straight into the glass. Lighter [packaging] for the carbon footprint, keeps the wine in really good condition. With Christmas parties coming up (I’ve said the word!), for festive events, for all of that stuff – it couldn’t be more convenient! Cardboard shouldn’t necessarily be equated with poorer quality. The better the wine, obviously the happier I am. But I am really delighted to see the value on offer. Quality, value, and in this case, convenient."
