Full-bodied red wine with a powerful aroma of ripe red fruit (blackberries and berries) and fine oak. The taste starts full and round, developing ripe, soft tannins. The finish is aromatic and persistent.

Regional Alentejo, Portugal

This 'Colheita Seleccionada' is made from four different grape varieties: Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Touriga Nacional. Together, they provide expression and complexity in aroma and taste. After fermentation, half of the wine ages for approximately six months in large 400-liter oak barrels. This is followed by blending with the un-oak-aged wine. This creates a beautiful balance between ripe fruit notes and the influence of the oak. A magnificent Alentejo wine that is also contemporary due to its soft tannins.

The vineyards of this beautiful estate are located in the Alentejo, east of Lisbon. According to many wine writers, this is currently the most exciting wine region in Portugal. For father and son, both named Alexandre Relvas, optimally ripe grapes and sophisticated vinification are the prerequisites for full-bodied yet soft wines. This sets them apart from mass producers who have to work with less uniformly ripe grapes.

Drinks with

Delicious with grilled lamb or beef, but also after the meal.
