Description

“Domingos Soares Franco, winemaker and vice-president, is the youngest of the two representatives of the
sixth generation of the family that manages José Maria da Fonseca. As both Vice-President and senior
winemaker of the company Domingos has become a prominent figure in the field of Portuguese
winemaking and viticulture. Although all José Maria da Fonseca’s wines are of his making, some are
particularly special to him. Labelled “Domingos Soares Franco Private Collection”.
Domingos Soares Franco created an exquisite dessert wine produced from the Moscatel grape variety in
its purple version: the Moscatel Roxo. This grape variety is extremely rare and was even risking extinction;
its unique purple colour, aroma and palate makes the distinction from the white Moscatel variety.”
