Description
| Notes | |||
| "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 |
| Critical Acclaim | |||
| "The 2017 José de Sousa red, an Alentejo wine, is a blend of 58% Grand Noir, 22% Trincadeira and 20% Aragonês, aged for nine months in new and mostly French oak. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. A touch herbal, this goes on to prove its worth with its nuanced finish, fine structure and fresh feel. Very elegant, it is dry and precise, pointed and penetrating. It's not even a little bit fruity—this is made for food. This still adds some dried cherry flavors—and that touch of green. This could be better, more expressive, this time next year, and it should hold for another decade. It's a nice value." —Wine Advocate |
