Rozès Rose Port

Rozès was founded in 1855 in Bordeaux by M. Ostende Rozès. A few years later they started trading in port wine, for this trade and success we can thank the son Edmond Rozès. In 1938 they established themselves in Vila Nova de Gaia, and at this time they were already known for a very high quality of port wine.
The activities were stopped during the Second World War and were restarted in Portugal in 1959. Until 1974, the firm continued as a family business, after which it was sold to Pedro Domecq S.A., Luxemburg. In 1977, the company was taken over by Moet Hennesy S.A., and in 1999, Rozès Port was sold again - this time to the champagne company Vranken Monopole.
This port wine is produced from Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz grapes grown in the Douro region of Portugal.
It is a beautiful, high-quality rosé port with an eye-catching pink color with a faint ruby ​​red tinge. The aroma is complex and delicate with notes of fresh pomegranates, cherries and other red fruits, the taste is fresh and beer-soft right through to the long and pleasant aftertaste.
A beautiful and incredibly well-balanced port that is particularly suitable for frozen desserts and fruit, but absolutely unbeatable when served chilled with a few ice cubes and a strip of orange peel as an aperitif.

Pierre Ferrand Légendaire presents rancio notes of chocolate and dried prunes, complemented by an exotic blend of sandalwood, tobacco, and nutmeg. Deep, spicy undertones reveal a sophisticated mix of roasted coffee beans and buttery caramel, which slowly unfolds and unveils layers of fruit and spices, elevating the experience to a whole new level.
Palate: As the first drop touches the tongue, a complex symphony of flavors unfolds. You are greeted by warm spices—clove, cardamom, and paprika—that balance perfectly with the sweet and buttery texture of caramelized almonds and honey. It is a round and full-bodied flavor, where each sip develops slowly and reveals more layers of taste. The rich amount of dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of refreshing citrus provide a perfect balance between sweetness and spicy depth.
Finish: Pierre Ferrand Légendaire finishes with a long and unforgettable aftertaste. You taste mandarin, blackberry, and hawthorn, which blend with spicy undertones of moss and cocoa.

Ferrand Renegade Limited Edition no 3 2021
Eau de vie de vin 48,2%

Jamaica rum barrel:
Long ago, before today´s cognac AOC definitions, cognac was aged in a variaty of barrel types, including rum casks. Surprisingly, the practice of using rum barrels has been forgotten and was not included in subsequent AOC regulation. Rhis is why we have to call it an Eau-de-vie and not a cognac. For years, we have been exploring historic methods, and are proud to be able to offer this delicious eau-de-vie from another time.

Edition n. 3: Double maturation oak & Jamaican rum barrels:
In the attic of the 19th century Ferrand family manor, we found a 1912 advertisement in a newspaper called "Le vrai cognac" for rum barrels to sell to to cognac producers. Elie Ferrand VIII traded his own spiritus in the nearby port city of Bordeaux, and was surely intrigued by the "haut goût" of Jamaican rums and the potential for developing distinctively flavourful eaux-de-vie in their barrels. Today old cognac makers still remember ageing their precious cognacs in rum barrels.

We revive this venerable technique with our signature double-ageingprocess: Our 2011 vintage is first aged in French oak barrels, and then further matured in our own Plantation 1996 Jamaica HJC rum casks. Distilled at Jamarica´s famed Long Pond Distillery, this rum´s tropical fruit and exotic spices notes, suffused in the wood of each barrek, impart subtle exotic nuances to create a truely original eau-de-vie brandy.

Pierre Ferrand Cognac
Sèlection des Anges

This cognac S.D.A. is an exceptional extra old Premier Cru de Cognac. An enlightened distiller, Elie Ferrand VIII walked his vineyards with his ever-present cane, following in the footsteps of his ancetors. We pay tribute to his legacy with this memoable cognac, which is sealed with an engraved stopper inspired by the pommel of Elie´s favorite cane; a talisman protecting the magic within.

During the decades that Ferrand Cognac matures in oak barrels it evaporates as the angels take their share of treasure within. With S.D.A. we choose from the oldest cognacs left in our barrels to create an exceptional Premier Cru de Cognac. For this reason, we have named it "Selection des Anges"

Rozès was founded in 1855 in Bordeaux by M. Ostende Rozès. A few years later, the trade in port wine began, a success for which one can today thank the son Edmond Rozès. In 1938, Rozès established itself in Vila Nova de Gaia, and by this time the company was already known for very fine quality port wine. The activities were stopped during World War II, but resumed in 1959. Until 1974, the company continued as a family business, after which it was sold to Pedro Domecq S.A. - Luxembourg. In 1977 the company was taken over by Moet Hennesy S.A., and in 1999 Rozès Port was taken over by the champagne company Vranken Monopole / Pommery. Rozès bought this Colheita in 2017 at an auction of rare wines from Casa do Douro. Casa do Douro was set up in 1932, when the economic situation was not very good in Portugal. As a result of the Depression following the 1929 Wall Street crash, there was high unemployment in the Douro Valley and generally bad economic times throughout Portugal. The repercussions after the Wall Street crash could be clearly felt in the export of port wine, where there was a marked decline in both sales prices and the amount of port wine exported. To minimize the crisis in the Douro region, the first intervention in the production sector was carried out by the Portuguese State, which wanted to regulate the relationship between the parties involved. Therefore, at the end of 1932, Casa do Douro was set up as an association of wine growers with compulsory membership under state control. Casa do Douro was to represent Douro's agriculture, and the aim was self-regulation by limiting the production of port wine and thus regulating supply as well as setting minimum prices for the purchase of grapes from wine growers. Casa do Douro also became responsible for granting credit to the winegrowers. When Portugal joined the EU in 1986, Casa do Douro lost its role as market regulator, and in December 2015, Casa do Douro was considered repealed. But during the period when Casa do Douro was active in the market, a lot of old port wines were brought together.

Pierre Ferrand 1914

Rarer still, are the small lots of several such as the 1914 Pierre Ferrand. These will have lain in dark, damp cellars for many years.
