Portugal is a bit like a hidden world of winemaking, steadily increasing in popularity due to the high-quality wines at such good prices. Mostly known for its Port, the quality still table wines are not to be missed!
An open fruity nose, with ripe cherry and plum characters. Similarly ripe and full-flavoured on the palate with blackberry and plum notes. Soft tannins and spice on the finish.
Broad aromatic expression, evocative of woodland, blackberry and blueberry, black cherries and hints of liquorice. Prodigious mouthfeel, with fascinating complexity reflected in multiple layers that range from dark chocolate, mushroom/ truffle, and a toasty element with good barrel integration. Fine-grained tannins combine with good acidity (subliminal, but present) to give excellent definition to the formidable structure. A fabulous, epicurean wine to pair with rich, savoury dishes. A wine which will develop beautifully in bottle over the coming years.
Quinta da Fonte Souto Florao Red is an award-winning wine from the renowned Portuguese wine region of Alentejo. This wine is a blend of several grape varieties, predominantly Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Trincadeira, and Syrah, which are carefully selected to achieve an outstanding balance of flavor and aroma. The aging process of 2 months in oak barrels lends the wine a smooth, velvety texture, with a complexity of flavors that includes ripe red fruits, spices, and hints of vanilla.
Aromas of ripe bramble fruit, plum and a touch of spice. Generous on the palate with fresh red cherry and blackberry leaf characters - supple, fine tannins and a touch of spice on the juicy finish.
