"The Herdade do Grous Tinto has a rich plum-red colour and exudes complex aromas of ripe fruit and subtle oak nuances. On the palate, the fruity character continues. Round, silky and ripe tannins are the characteristics that reflect the heart of the Alentejo." —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

"This blend brings together the aromatic intensity of Touriga Nacional, sophisticated delicacy of Tinta Roriz (better known in Spain as Tempranillo), and the structure and elegance of Touriga Franca. Fresh red fruits on the nose persist through the palate, announcing a young, energetic wine with swirling, well-integrated tannins and a lovely, long 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

"A vibrant ruby coloured wine, with highlights of wild berry notes, black pepper and wild flowers. The palate has a nice acidity combined with round tannins and a long finish." —winemaker

"Esteva is a bright ruby colour and has an aroma of good intensity. It has floral notes of rockrose, balsamic aromas of cedar and resin and red fruits like strawberry and cherry. On the palate, it has good volume, well integrated acidity giving exceptional freshness and vivacity, polished tannins and floral aromas and well present red fruits. Its finish is very elegant and harmonious." —winemaker
