Young fruit bomb, with enough tannins and tartness to make it interesting. — 4 years ago
Tasty. Tannic. Well-balanced acid. #SommCon — 6 years ago
A rich, full-bodied wine. It welcomes you with the deepest, darkest purple you have ever seen, almost black in color. Then, the aroma invistes you with dark blackberry, mulberry and a violet scent to a dense, firm mouthful of fruit along with fine tannins. It almost reminds you of a young Bordeaux. But then, no, as it’s spicy black pepper tingle and more violets and exotic notes come out. What would absolutely stun you is to find out was there is no oak used on this wine. The tannins are silky with time, but, make no mistake, this is a BIG wine. Often, that is achieved with oak. But here, it is just a reflection of the grapes and the touch nature of Alentejo! Unbelievable! — 6 years ago

The best white wine in Portugal. — 9 years ago
The longer you hold this wine in cellar the better it gets!! Mint aromas and flavors lead to an intense wine that is powered at this young stage by firm, serious tannins. It has great richness from the black plum fruits, and a spicy, herbal character that adds complexity. — 9 years ago

Ripe & fruit forward with dark cherry & blackberry and a whiff of Mediterranean herbs.
Rich yet very fresh & balanced on the palate with beautifully polished & juicy tannins and a perfect balance between the sweet fruit and sappy acidity.
This is a nice one - richer & heavier yet very drinkable at the same time.
Excellent match with grilled meat. — 3 years ago

Notas de frutas maduras, especiarias doces, boa estrutura, taninos redondos, fácil de tomar. Safra 2013 em julho de 2016, no Bistrô Isadora Duncan, Florianópolis. — 8 years ago
After years trying to taste it in a proper manner, I finally found the opportunity over a decent red pepper steak with red grape sauce. I was surprised not to see Alicante Bouschet into this baco original from the heights of the Serra de Sao Mamede in Portalegra, but the truth is that the typical granite soils from the region are powering this Touriga Nacional to its best!! Amazing quality price wine! — 8 years ago
It needs to open up for quite a while but this nectar contains the pure magic of Syrah, from the highest vineyards of south Alentejo! I guess not even in Australia we can find such good quality price rate of Syrah! — 9 years ago

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy limes.
This is Is a very interesting white blend from Portugal. Although crisp, it has a light buttery feel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Better when not too cold, and after 20 minutes of airtime.
This is not my usual style, but I really enjoyed it.
Paired wonderfully with a Mediterranean dish of baked eggplant drizzled with Tahini.
