about the wine

A noble and traditional Portuguese grape variety. One of the most widely plantedvarieties in Alentejo and the backbone of many wines from the region. This wineexpresses the full potential of the variety, combined with granite soils and the warmclimate of Alentejo, resulting in an aromatic, well-balanced wine with excellent ageingpotential.
