Fernão Pires
Fernão Pires is a white grape variety that is indigenous to Portugal. It is one of the oldest grape varieties in the country and is primarily grown in the Lisbon and Tejo wine regions. The grape is known for its aromatic qualities and its ability to produce wines with a range of flavors, from light and fresh to rich and complex.
History
The origins of Fernão Pires are not well documented, but it is believed to have been cultivated in Portugal for several centuries. The grape is named after the medieval Portuguese nobleman Fernão Pires de Andrade, who is said to have introduced the variety to the country.
Viticulture
Fernão Pires is a high-yielding grape that thrives in a variety of soil types. It is typically harvested early in the season to preserve its natural acidity. The grape is susceptible to a number of diseases, including powdery mildew and botrytis cinerea, which can affect the quality of the wine if not properly managed.
Wine production
Fernão Pires is used to produce both single varietal wines and blends. The grape's high sugar content and natural acidity make it well suited for the production of dessert wines. In addition, it is often used in the production of sparkling wine due to its high acidity and aromatic qualities.
Wine characteristics
Wines made from Fernão Pires are typically aromatic, with notes of citrus, floral, and tropical fruit. They can range from light and fresh to rich and complex, depending on the winemaking techniques used. The wines are typically best consumed young, although some examples can age well.
Food pairing
Fernão Pires wines pair well with a variety of foods, including seafood, poultry, and light pasta dishes. They also complement spicy foods, making them a good choice for pairing with Asian and Latin American cuisines.
