Tasting Note
Deep, rich bramble and intense blackberry characters, wrapped in soft notes of spice and tobacco, provide a complex and welcome aroma on the nose. Complex and full bodied, with damson and cassis on the palate, supple tannins, dark chocolate and vanilla notes and a long, generous finish.

40% Touriga Nacional, 35% Syrah, 25% Alicante Bouschet
How to Drink

Producer Information
Adega Redondo is one of the largest and most dynamic Co-operatives in Portugal, bringing together around 200 producers, representing more than three-quarters of the viticultural subregion of Redondo, deep in the Alentejo. Founded in 1956 by just 14 growers, with an aim to rejuvenate the region after the ravages of phylloxera and the government’s singular determination to support cereal monoculture to the detriment of other crops, Adega de Redondo was born. Today, they fly the flag for authentic, quality Alentejo wines and are proud member of the Alentejo Wines Sustainability Program. Red wine accounts for 75% of their total production, along with a handful of fresh white wines made from indigenous varietals.
Production Information
A generous blend of indigenous Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet, with a touch of Syrah, from vines planted on mainly granitic soils, with small pockets of schist and clay-limestones within the Vinho Regional Alentejano, the largest wine region in Portugal.
Controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats at 24ºC, followed by 6 months ageing in a combination of 300l and 700l French oak barrels.
Full-flavoured wine with hints of blackberry and dark chocolate.
