What The Fellas Say

There’s a deep base beat in this one. Probably around 40hz. With some juicy, squelchy notes of black cherry and blackberry with little happy high hats of violets and spice. It’s intense and passionate and expressive, but in the way a sheep dog stares at you when you enter its field.

What The Sommelier Says

Dense ruby colour; notes of red fruits and spices, with soft aromas of violets and a hint of choclate. On the palette, intense and full, dark fruits, chocolate and spices with strong, elegant tannins, balanced acidity and a rich, long finish.

Pairs well with…

…a thick, juicy steak. ’nuff said.

About The Winemakers

Terras de Alter, a winery in Alto Alentejo, was founded in 2004 through a partnership between two traditional agricultural companies and winemaker Peter Bright. In 2008, the company built its own state-of-the-art winery, establishing itself as a key producer of quality wines in the Alentejo region. Acquired in 2021 by Ímpar, S.A., with new foreign investors, the winery gained financial autonomy and growth potential, focusing on producing superior wines. The company’s success is driven by nearly 20 years of Bright’s expertise and strong relationships with local grape growers, with plans to acquire its own vineyards and further enhance its team and operations.
