Marcolino Sebo Visconde de Borba Tinto Reserva 2018

"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

"With the color of bright citrine, the bouquet is intense, dominated by citrus fruits and the floral aromas characteristic of the Loureiro grape. On the palate this wine is vibrant and balanced with a refreshing acidity that anticipates a good evolution. While this wine is ready to drink, it will also age well in its first few years." —winemaker

"Intense garnet with orange nuances. On the nose the wine is elegant with notes of violet, small red fruits and leather. On the palate it is structured and harmonious, with persistent and soft tannins. A wine that is suited for lengthy aging in the cellar." —winemaker

"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
