Falua is synonymous with a journey through wine, as an ambassador for Portugal around the world. Falua was founded in 1994 with the aim of asserting itself as a reference in the production of wines from the Tejo region and which quickly grew to other regions. In 2017, VITAS Portugal ‚Äì a subsidiary of the Roullier Group present in our country since 1994 ‚ acquired Falua. The Roullier Group‚ interest in Falua's activity originated from the idea of creating a gateway to the global wine market. With more than 25 years of history in the national and international markets, Falua has a vast portfolio spread throughout the world.

What’s In It: Mostly a Verdelho, with the last 20% divided between Fernao Pires and Arinto

How It Was Made:

SOIL: Sandy, with pebbles stones

HARVEST: By hand to small cases of 15 Kg

VINIFICATION: After manual harvest, the grapes are cooled to 5ºC, followed by their destemming.

The vinification of the three grape varieties (Arinto, Fernão Pires and Verdelho), which make up the blend, takes place separately. Fernão Pires grapes are subjected to a pre-fermentative skin maceration, while in Arinto grapes, prolonged pre-fermentative maceration with lees is privileged. The alcoholic fermentation takes place after clarification by decantation.

AGEING: 20% of the batch, part of Arinto and Fernão Pires, fermented in 500L French oak barrels of 2 and 3 years.
