The Alentejo is a warm region, and this wine, in this vintage, seems to have gotten a bit too warm. The cherry fruit is a bit dulled and baked, but then there’s enough acidity to bring it into some semblance of balance. Dusty and soft on the finish.

In complete contrast to the same winery’s Versátil, this wine’s blend of cherries, dried spices and vanilla is terrifically appealing, with a firm structure that helps carry the weight of the fruit. Drink now or hold 3–4 years.

A blend of Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro, this wine is loaded with bold blackberry fruit and lashings of vanilla. Definitely not for the shy, it’s intense but adds enough spice and tobacco flavors to avoid any claims of simplicity or jamminess. Drink now or hold 4–5 years.
