Discover Passagem: Authentic Wines from Portugal’s Douro Superior
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are delighted to present Passagem, a distinguished estate located in the Douro Superior region of Portugal. Known for crafting wines that reflect the landscape’s rugged beauty and winemaking tradition, Passagem offers genuine Portuguese flavours with depth and character.
A Legacy of Portuguese Winemaking
Passagem is a joint venture led by the team at Quinta da La Rosa together with esteemed winemaker Jorge Moreira. The project was designed to highlight the Douro Superior’s enormous potential by combining rich, refined fruit with excellent poise and freshness.
The winemakers are dedicated to quality, ensuring each vintage captures the essence of this remarkable region.
The Vineyards and Terroir
Situated in the Douro Superior, the estate comprises vineyards planted on schist soils with sun‑drenched slopes and a hot, dry continental climate. The terroir enables the vines to develop concentration of flavour and structure.
This terroir gives the wines vibrant fruit, balanced acidity and firm structure.
Typical Tasting Notes
Passagem wines are celebrated for their intensity and elegance. Expect:
- Aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries and raspberry fruit
- A palate featuring layers of dark fruit, subtle herb/spice and fine tannins
