never heard of these guys. And I would assume Jose Maria de Fonseca is not the Fonseca I'm thinking about?

This is mainly the Jose Maria de Fonseca new projects in the Douro. There are famous for their Moscatel in the Setubal area and some other wines. They started to invest in the Douro and with the help of Cristiano Van Zeller they came with very high quality of Port and douro wines right from the start. Today Cristiano is not helping them anymore and his name does not appear in the labels.

I've tasted it once in his youth and liked it a lot!
