"The emblematic Fojo 2013 (Quinta Do Fojo) is a blend of old vines (planted at the end of the 19th century) aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels."
Robert Parker - Marc Squires 2015 -
"Although the fashionable wine of late is undoubtedly Fojo, a wine from the Serôdio Borges family, from a 70-year-old vineyard of that name in the Pinhão region, which had produced some port for Churchill's house, and since 1996 has produced what some have called "the Pingus of Portugal". Without a doubt, the Douro is one of the country's most dynamic regions with the greatest potential. "
