What The Fellas Say

It’s late afternoon in a summer orchard. Fig trees, plum trees and a scattering of blackberry bushes. Heat, barely a breath of wind, the buzzing of insects, a bird chirping nearby. Ancient dolmen stones lie scattered about among the cork trees. All this is smoothly, expertly bottled up in this delicious, full-bodied blend by Luis Duarte and his family. Open, let breathe, serve slightly below room temperature, and taste the rocky soil and blue skies of the Alentejo.

What The Sommelier Says

With a beautiful ruby color and good concentration, this The wine has a deep and complex aroma of ripe fruit and well integrated with wood. In the mouth it is balanced, with velvety tannins and in great harmony with the fruit, resulting in a long and intense finish.

Pairs well with…

…a big fat sausage off the grill, dripping in fat or a classic Alentejano cake covered in rich plum sauce. Decant and let it open up a little before serving.
