2019 Cristina, Case of 6

Produced in Portalegre to the north east of the Alentejo on the granite foothills of the São Mamede mountains. The fruit is taken from 100-150 year old vineyards which gives he grapes incredible complexity. The combination of cool, high altitude grapes and granite soils combine to give wines of great finesse with structure, intense aromas and freshness. The wine is named after our incredible vineyard manager Cristina who found and tends to these ancient vineyards.

"A rich but balanced old-vine red from local varieties like touriga nacional and alicante from a field blend. Full and fresh with medium-round tannins and a juicy finish. Hints of chocolate and vanilla. Flavorful finish. Delicious now, but better in three or four years." James Suckling, 2019, 94 points
