Zafirah is a red wine that revives the historical tradition of the Monção region.

These wines were first mentioned in a charter by King Afonso III in 1286 and were known for their quality from the 14th to the 16th century, so much so that they were even exported to England as a substitute for Burgundy.

For Zafirah, Constantino Ramos uses four small, over 50-year-old espalier vineyards (Ramadas) to reinterpret this traditional wine style.

In the glass, Zafirah presents itself with an open ruby ​​red color. The aroma is fruity with clear notes of strawberries and raspberries as well as balsamic hints. On the palate it is deep and soft with notes of fresh red fruits and spices, especially black pepper.

The wine is characterized by an open color, lightness, freshness and pronounced acidity. It has a moderate alcohol content and is described as graceful.

Zafirah is a blend wine dominated by the Alvarelhão variety, complemented by Borraçal, Pedral, Espadeiro and a small proportion of Vinhão. The grapes are carefully handpicked and rigorously selected, using only perfectly healthy fruit.

The production process includes complete destemming, followed by a 24-hour pre-maceration and subsequent pressing. Fermentation takes place two-thirds in stainless steel tanks and one-third in French oak barrels. The wine is aged for six months and is produced with minimal oenological interventions to preserve its natural character.

Thanks to its pronounced acidity, Zafirah is very versatile when paired with food. It goes well with light dishes such as sushi or pasta as well as with more complex, fatty dishes and even desserts. The recommended drinking temperature is between 12 and 14°C.

Manufacturer

Constantino Ramos, born in 1983 in Vouzela, is an up-and-coming winemaker in the Vinho Verde sub-region of Monção e Melgaço. After studying pharmacy, he moved into the wine industry, completed a degree in oenology and gained nine years of experience with Anselmo Mendes.

In 2016, Ramos founded his own wine project, to which he has devoted himself full-time since 2022. He focuses on high-altitude plots (300-400 m) with old vines of native varieties. His cultivation methods are close to nature and minimalist, without official certification.

Ramos' wine range includes:
1. Affluente Alvarinho: Early harvest, mineral, aged in old French oak barrels.
2. Zafirah: Red blend of local varieties, briefly macerated.
3. JUCA: Top red wine from a 100-year-old vineyard.
4. Juca Tinto: Similar to Zafirah, but macerated for longer.
5. Juca Branco: Made from Loureiro grapes, aged in steel.

Its vineyards are located mainly in the Vale do Mouro in Monção on granite soils, spread over four plots: Vinha da Rocha, Vinha de Aldeia, Codeçal and Vinha da Raposa.

Ramos' winemaking is characterized by early harvest, natural fermentation and moderate temperature control. He places emphasis on fresh white wines and careful handling of red wines. His philosophy combines tradition with modern techniques to produce authentic wines that respect the terroir.

Particularly notable is Ramos' focus on red wines, inspired by the historical importance of red Vinho Verde. He is committed to preserving old red vines and planting new vineyards with traditional red varieties to highlight the region's quality potential in red wines.
