Beautiful garnet color, with an intense aroma of red fruits reminiscent of ripe blackberries and cherries. The partial aging in used French oak barrels gives this medium-bodied wine complexity and balance, with subtle spicy notes. Very pleasant and easy to drink, smooth on the palate with a long, very fruity finish.
Produced from the most emblematic red grape varieties of the region — Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, and Trincadeira — harvested during the month of September. Each variety is vinified separately at the modern winery of Quinta do Carmo in Estremoz, undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. After a brief post-fermentation maceration to preserve the fruity aromas, the wine is aged mainly in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion matured in used French oak barrels for 12 months. The final blend results in a wine that reflects a strong Alentejo character while displaying a Reserve-style profile.
