Casa Ferreirinha are one of Portugal's top producers and, when tasting their wines, it always amazes me how they get such lovely freshness and balance in their wines from a place that can get incredibly hot.  It's because they're a quality producer and know what they're doing with the vineyards and how to handle the fruit which, in this case, is sourced from the exceptional Quinta da Leda vineyard.  So I guess it's a mini Quinta da Leda.  It's certainly excellent, packed with red and black fruits with a dash of truffles and cedar.  Very smooth on the palate with fresh acidity, velvety tannins and a long, subtly spicy finish, it really is brilliant value.
