Herdade de São Miguel Friends Collection

Herdade de São Miguel The Friends Collection is a red wine produced in special years and always with the collaboration of a close friend of Casa Relvas. In 2017 it was Nicola Fagotto's turn.

Produced from the Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira and Touriga Nacional grape varieties, the blend was created by Nicola, having chosen the best barrels of the year.

Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, this is a red wine with an intense garnet color, with an austere aroma of forest fruits and balsamic notes. It reveals an excellent tannin structure and balance, culminating in a complex, elegant and persistent finish.
