Quinta da Fonte Souto Vinha do Souto 2017

Aromas of woodland are enhanced by pine and resin notes that confer great freshness and evoke the extensive forested area of Fonte Souto. Also, a lot of spice made of white pepper and clove, as well as black cherry and floral notes of roses. Dense and powerful in the mouth with notes of spice, tea, and tobacco. The impressive structure, sculpted tannins and refined acidity, foresee an excellent development in bottle. A little reserved, needing some time to reveal all its greatness

This is the flagship wine of the estate, named after its beautiful chestnut groves (Soutos), that lie close to the vineyards from which the grapes are sourced, namely the finest parcels of Alicante Bouschet and Syrah. The lower vigour of these vines and the low yields resulted in concentrated, structured wines that also reflect the singular freshness which the altitude provides.
