Description

This is probably the most unctuous of João’s wines. It has a richness and depth that not many wines achieve. The balance and structure make it a tremendous wine. A weighty wine with lots of melon and honey that come through on the nose and palate. Deep in flavour but with mass appeal as the acidity and minerality of it leaves a long-lasting finish.

Matches well with a selection of poultry, game, and white fish recipes. It is particularly well-matched with white wine sauces with intense herbs such as marjoram and tarragon. Wonderful with warm root vegetables as well as with creamy textured cheeses.

Alentejo

Alentejo, located in southern Portugal, is one of the country's largest wine regions. Known for its vast, sun-drenched landscapes and diverse terroirs, it benefits from a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, which is ideal for viticulture.
The area is renowned for its robust red wines, often crafted from indigenous varieties such as Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet. These reds are characterised by their rich, full-bodied profiles, with deep fruit flavours, well-integrated tannins, and a smooth finish. It also produces notable whites from grapes like Antão Vaz and Arinto, which are known for their fresh acidity, citrus notes, and aromatic qualities.
