Quinta da Fonte Souto, Vinha do Souto, 75cl, 2018

This is the flagship wine of the estate, named after its beautiful chestnut groves (Soutos), that lie close to the vineyards from which the grapes are sourced, namely the finest parcels of Alicante Bouschet and Syrah. The lower vigour of these vines and the low yields resulted in concentrated, structured wines that also reflect the singular freshness which the altitude provides. Aromas of woodland are enhanced by pine and resin notes, that confer great freshness and evoke the extensive forested area of Fonte Souto. Dense and powerful in the mouth with notes of spice, tea, and tobacco.
