"Displaying a deep, rich garnet color, indicative of its concentrated flavors. On the nose, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers a compelling blend of dark fruits like blackcurrant and blackberry, elegantly layered with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoky oak, adding depth and complexity. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with a lush texture that envelops the mouth. The flavors of ripe dark cherries and plums are predominant, supported by firm, well-structured tannins and a backbone of acidity that brings balance and longevity. Subtle undertones of vanilla and spice from the oak aging process enhance the wine's complexity, leading to a long, persistent finish that leaves a memorable impression of refined elegance." —winemaker

"Very pale yellow. Explosive aromas of passionfruit, ruby red grapefruit, and juicy white peach jump out of the glass, followed by hints of fresh lemongrass. This in-your-face drop captures the essence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe, exuberant citrus and passionfruit flavors combine with a lick of wet stones. The palate is dry, complex, and powerful, giving way to a concentrated, salivating finish." —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

"The nose opens on an array of refined ripe black fruit aromas, joined on airing by light toasted hazelnut notes. The palate has ripe black fruit notes found on the nose return on the rich and ample attack, while attractive spice and toast flavors bring remarkable complexity and intensity to the midpalate, underpinned by powerful tannins typical of Cabernet Sauvignon. The black fruit flavors return on the long and fresh finish." —winemaker
