Thomas Reynolds, an English seaman and merchant, arrived in Portugal in 1820, attracted by the potential of the wine trade. He settled in the northern town of Porto with his two sons, Thomas and Robert, and from there they supplied their London store with a variety of products from the Iberian Peninsula. In 1838, they became involved in the cork industry and set up a factory for the manufacture of cork stoppers in Alburquerque (Spain), where they lived for eleven years. It was a profitable business and soon new cork factories opened in Portugal and Spain. The family returned to Portugal in 1850 and moved to Estremoz, and Robert had remained in Estremoz to take care of the business and soon expanded it with the purchase of new land for the production of an excellent wine, an activity for which he was particularly passionate. The Alentejo soon became the resting place in Portugal of the Reynolds family and of Robert, the family patriarch.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested mechanically during the night at Herdade de Figueira de Cima. Fermented in temperature controlled French Seguin Moreau oak vats until cut with wine spirit, then aged for 3 years in old barrels. After bottling, the bottles were aged for seven years before being released for sale.

Tasting notes

Dark color with powerful aromas, combining hints of spice, black olives and red fruit jam. It is a fresh wine with a persistent finish.“…this is a “wow” wine. Big, concentrated and powerful, this is impressive from the get-go…..Depending on what you like, you may find this astonishing, an Alentejo version of Port.” Mark Squires, Wine Advocate (Robert Parker).Recommended serving temperature: 12° — 14°C

Food pairing

Excellent for all occasions and a perfect complement to desserts and chocolate.
