This blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Aragonez and Touriga Nacional was fermented in stainless steel tanks, then matured in a combination of new and old oak barrels to soften, harmonise, and take on spicy, toasty French oak character. Fresh, red and black fruits are the main theme here, with the oak supporting rather than dominating. Firm and structured but with an appealing softness and roundness. Well balanced and with a long finish.

Founded in 1988 by Danish-American couple, Hans and Carrie Jorgensson, Cortes de Cima Family vineyards make modern wines from blends of Syrah and native Portuguese varieties. All Cortes wines are made with fruit grown on the coast of Alentejo and are estate bottled. Sparing use of oak is a signature of their house style, preferring to let the fruit do most of the talking.
