Lying on the slopes of the Sao Mamede range near Portalegre at an altitude of 500 meters, Quinta da Fonte Souto benefits from cooler, more humid conditions than the hot Alentejo plain. The wine express the freshness and elegance provided by the altitude and the structure and complexity, which result from mature, low-yielding vines.

Tasting Notes

A blend of Syrah and Alicante Bouschet, this is among the first releases from the Alentejo estate bought in 2017 by the Douro's Symington Family. This flagship wine is densely powerful with massive tannins that are masked by the concentrated black fruits. There is juiciness along with the richness and the promise of considerable aging. Drink from 2023.
