"Deep ruby red with purple hues and garnet rim; ample, complex, persistent and elegant bouquet with dark berry aromas complemented by fresh, sweet spices, underbrush, leather and tobacco; full-bodied with tightly knit, sweet tannins, soft texture, fresh balsamic acidity." —winemaker

"The José de Sousa Rosado Fernandes Cellar was founded in 1878 and was purchased by José Maria da Fonseca in 1986, fulfilling an old dream of producing wine in Alentejo, in an estate full of prestige and history. The estate is located in Reguengos de Monsaraz, and it is here that a 2.000 year old Roman tradition is kept alive. The José de Sousa Cellar owns 114 ceramic amphorae in which an ancient fermentation method takes place. Dark red with some depth, the Jose de Sousa shows aromas of dates, chocolate, oak, some vanilla, fig, and spices. On the palate, the wine is fruity, velvety, with good tannins, some complexity and a good acidity." —winemaker

"Brilliant citrine in color. Predominantly fruity character, aiming to highlight the aromas of stone fruit resulting from the high percentage of the blend being Albarino. Balanced, persistent, chewy and dry." —winemaker

"A garnet-coloured, almost opaque wine, with aromas reminiscent of dark fruit, spices and smoke, and hints of jam due to the lengthy period of maturation. Dense, full on the palate, and well structured. Tannins are present, but are soft and well integrated. A finish that is extremely pleasant, long-lasting and persistent." —winemaker
