Wine Description

This hand-crafted wine is a blend of native Alentejo grapes Trincadeira and Aragonez plus a touch of Syrah for added body. The fruit is sourced from 1,000 ft high schist and limestone vineyards surrounding the J Portugal Ramos Vila Santa winery. Unoaked, it is fresh and fruity while maintaining a plush mouthfeel.

Acclaim
“This is a rich wine, full of dark fruits and with generous tannins. It has swathes of spice as well as the firm black-plum-skin and blackberry flavors. The dense texture and the acidity suggest a few more months aging, so drink from early 2018.” (BEST BUY)
