Product Notes

Quinta da Fonte Souto Red wine, hailing from Portugal's iconic Alentejo region, exudes elegance and an extraordinary depth of flavour. This ruby-toned potion presents a tantalising bouquet of floral aromas mingled with hints of blackberries, plums, and a dash of spiced wood. On the palate, it is well balanced, showing ripe tannins and an invigorating acidity that carry through to a long finish. The lingering aftertaste embodies the intricate fusion of fruitiness and oakiness, making it an unparalleled connoisseur's delight. This makes this wine an exemplary choice for special occasions and an indulgent pairing with red meats or flavourful cheeses.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of Mediterranean scrub with balsamic notes of pine needles and resin. Broad and complex on the palate, with succulent flavours of fruits of the forest and hints of clove. The taut tannins provide a well-toned structure, balanced by fresh acidity which gives the wine great definition. The diversity of grape varieties used mark the wine with a very particular profile, a clear gastronomic aptitude as well as promising ageing potential.
