"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

"Very pleasant to drink, this entertaining and modern blend, which changes with its vintage, was born as an experimentation. An attractive wine, where Malbec provides depth in the mouth, Carignan is the backbone, Cabernet Sauvignon gives freshness and Syrah contributes with its perfumed nose. It is harvested early to give a rich balance between smoothness and acidity, a perfect wine to consume now or to store." —winemaker

"Pale straw in color with green hues. Aromas of fresh tropical fruits combine with blossom notes and sweet spice. The wine has a savory edge with flinty notes from wild fermentation. The flavors from the nose are mirrored on the palate and balanced by the creamy mid-palate and refreshing, lip-smacking acidity that gives this wine lovely length with a savory, textural finish." —winemaker

"This is a rich and ripe Shiraz with juicy red fruits, a hint of spice and smooth tannins. A highly drinkable wine. A seductive, alluring bouquet of wild blackberries, chocolate coated cherries and Black Forest cake with subtle hints of Indian spices. The Y Series Shiraz is a glorious mouthful of South Australia with layers of ripe blackberries, Christmas cake and soft, velvety tannins." —winemaker
