What The Fellas Say

When it’s 5º outside and the Alentejo winter is digging into your bones, what better way to dispel the blues than sitting around an open log fire and remeniscing about plum trees and cherries and blackberry bushes and a late summer heatwave. This Syrah/Petit Verdot blend bottles all that up in smooth, complex layers that let each grape express itself in a lively debate about life, the universe and everything.

What The Sommelier Says

Dark ruby colour. Intense black and red fruits, plum, cherry with hints of vanilla and eucalyptus. On the palate, complex and balanced, with berries, plum, licorice and chocolate with smooth tannins and a long finish.

Pairs well with…

…a spicy lamb curry with garlic naan, a pasta carbonara or a straight-up juicy steak and fresh cut french fries.

About The Winemakers

Terras d´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.
