Quote – “This estate of the heart of Lisboa region has a penchant of Rhône grapes. This perfumed, juicy wine is a fine example of cool-climate Syrah, where the grape retains great tannins and acidity. Stylish, ripe and elegant, it has a smoky edge” [vintage of 2014] (ROGER VOSS, European Editor. Reviews wines from Portugal and France)
