<p>Herdade Aldeia de Cima Garrafeira Red is a highly prestigious Alentejo wine made from the Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez grape varieties, recognised for its great intensity and depth. It has a deep, intense ruby colour and a remarkably complex aroma, with notes of ripe black fruit, resin, tobacco and dark chocolate, complemented by nuances reminiscent of the forest and the terroir.</p> <p>On the palate, this Garrafeira Tinto is serious and robust, with great volume and rich ripe fruit well balanced with notes of tobacco and chocolate. Its refined tannins and solid structure, combined with the vibrant acidity of the Serra do Mendro, give it a strong and lasting personality, with a very persistent and long finish. Consistent and praised by critics with scores such as 95 points from Robert Parker, it is a wine with great ageing potential.</p>

<p></p> <p>Quinta da Fonte Souto Red Wine embodies all the strengths of the property’s unique terroir: the freshness and balance afforded by the altitude; the concentration, which derives from mature, low-yielding vines, and the complexity and structure provided by the judicious combination of grape varieties. This red is built around the signature Alicante Bouschet with important contributions from Trincadeira, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Alfrocheiro.</p>
