The estate stands out for its bold approach to winemaking and unique bottle design. Head winemaker António Maçanita employs cool fermentation technologies and careful aging in French oak barrels. This preserves pure fruitiness, balances the naturally high alcohol content, and imparts an elegance often lacking in wines from hot regions.
The vineyards harmoniously combine Portugal's pride Touriga Nacional with international stars such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. Blends of these varieties feature aromas of dark forest berries, dark chocolate, spices, and gentle toast, constantly changing and evolving in the glass.
Powerful and rich Alentejo wine demands intense food. It pairs wonderfully with BBQ-grilled red meat, spicy stews, and lamb dishes. For cozy evenings with friends, we recommend serving it alongside aged hard cheeses and charcuterie from our wine snacks section.
Why are wines from Portugal's Alentejo region so popular?
Due to the very warm climate and numerous sunny days, the berries ripen perfectly here, so the beverages feature a natural sense of sweetness, smooth yet firm tannins, and are very pleasant to drink even when young.
Does this wine require decanting?
Yes, it is highly recommended to decant the more intense Touriga Nacional or Syrah based wines for about 1 hour to reveal their full complexity.
Where can I pick up my purchases?
