Winemaking

A red wine with a distinctly Alentejo character. A wine shaped by the heat of one of the sunniest regions in Europe. Made from carefully selected grapes harvested during the cooler hours of the day.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby red colour. Aromas of ripe forest fruits and subtle wood notes. Great complexity on the palate, with hints of dark chocolate and coffee beans.
