 | | Herdade das Servas | | Red Amália 2006 - SOLD OUT | It is both our highest privilege and greatest responsibility to craft a wine that would be a fitting tribute to world-renowned fado diva Amália Rodrigues, as her gift for musically embodying the soul of an entire nation was only exceeded by a keen desire to help others.
It was her dying wish that the Amália Rodrigues foundation be set up to support relief and social welfare institutions. A vinous realisation of the Queen of Fado’s wish, this wine was designed to assist those in need. | Where to buy
