Fresh and Summery Ros\u00e9 with Notes of Hibiscus, Orange Blossom, and Lilies
\nA subtle yet full-bodied ros\u00e9 with fresh notes of apricot, raspberry, lychee, white pepper, and pomegranate, perfectly balanced by the natural acidity of the Aragon\u00eaz grape.<\/p>\n
On the slopes of the Serra de S\u00e3o Mamede Natural Park, near the town of Portalegre, the vineyards of Fonte Souto are planted at altitudes between 490 and 550 meters above sea level. Here, they benefit from cooler and wetter conditions than those found on the warm Alentejo plains below. The soil, composed of schist and granite, ensures an ideal balance of water retention and drainage. The wines reflect the freshness and balance that the altitude provides \u2013 even in an otherwise warm climate.<\/p>\n

\nAn exceptional ros\u00e9!
\nPortuguese wines are making a serious impact! The country is renowned for its port, but it actually produces far more dry wine. This ros\u00e9 is made from Aragon\u00eaz, a grape related to Tempranillo\u2014one of my absolute favorites. It offers aromas of white flowers, lime, green strawberries, apricot, peach, and orange zest. On the palate, it is smooth, filled with polished fruit, a hint of sweetness, and plenty of acidity. A truly remarkable ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n

However, at Quinta da Fonte Souto, the focus is on classic wines. The estate is located in Portalegre, close to the S\u00e3o Mamede mountain range, which provides the vineyards with a cooler climate than one would normally expect in this otherwise warm region. The estate spans 43 hectares of vineyards, primarily planted with Aragon\u00eas, Alfrocheiro, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Additionally, numerous chestnut trees grow here, inspiring the estate\u2019s name\u2014\u2018souto\u2019 refers to a wooded area planted specifically with chestnut trees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
