This area has a continental-influenced Mediterranean climate with large temperature differences between day and night during the ripening season – exactly what gives a wine freshness and tension. The soils of slate, marble, and limestone do the rest and provide a mineral depth that is rarely found in this hot region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it shows an intense ruby red. The wine is dry and incredibly complex in its aromas. Powerful and structured on the palate, yet elegant: pure black fruit, with vegetal and earthy notes and a touch of spice. The finish is round, long, and full of class. The fine acidity brings a freshness and minerality that is remarkable for the Alentejo. Together with the full, fine tannins – still with a touch of rawness – this gives the wine a strong identity and a remarkable ability to age for many years in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaker and oenologist behind the wine is Miguel Louro. The grapes are harvested by hand in 20-kilogram crates, destemmed, and then trodden by foot for three days in the lagar (granite basin) and cold macerated. Fermentation takes place under temperature control in stainless steel, after which the wine ages for 14 months in 300-liter barrels made of Portuguese oak, half new and half used. It is then aged in the bottle for at least three years before being released for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuvée:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35% Alicante Bouschet, 25% Aragonez, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Touriga Nacional, 10% Trincadeira\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: Our cellar is not a climate-controlled wine cellar.
