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 smell and taste. After fermentation, half of the wine matures for about six months in large oak barrels of 400 liters. This is followed by the assembly with the non-oak aged wine. This creates a beautiful balance between ripe fruit tones and the influence of oak. A beautiful Alentejo wine that is also contemporary because of its soft tannin.

The vineyards of this beautiful domain 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 conditions for full and soft wines. This distinguishes them from mass producers who have to work with less homogeneously ripe grapes.

Drink with

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