Called “Generations” after 100 years of family ownership by the Fino family, this is the top wine from Monte da Penha. Aged for a year in French wood, it shows elegance, laden with spice, new wood and fruit tannins that open slowly over dense red berry fruits. Worth aging.

A ripe, soft wine, its sweet tannins fitting well with the spicy acidity. There is a refreshing, juicy core of cranberry juice, edged with tannins. A bright acidity finishes the wine well.

Smooth, rich, velvet-textured wine, named after the Fino family that owns Monte da Penha. It shows dense fruit and sweet, juicy tannins. Behind this richness is a fresh layer of acidity. A finely structured wine, the juiciness of Alicante Bouschet dominant here.

Initially unfocused and soft, the wine opens with rewarding tight tannins and structure. The fruit has a vivid juiciness, but is way behind the tannins. There is a clear texture, pierced through with tannins and fresh fruit.

A hot-tasting wine, showing a strong rustic character, and already raisin maturity. The wine has dark tannins, the fruit has dry fig, berry and light acidity. Drink now.

Earthy, somewhat reductive aromas lead to a wine that is very soft, with an open texture. There are attractive floral characters and white fruits, but the wine lacks freshness.
