Unique full-bodied red wine of world class. Black as stout with fat tears. Engaging nose with incredible purity of flowers, black fruit and delicate spice with earthy accents and flint. Distinctive attack, controlled and flawless organized texture. Unique balance between acidity, tannins and mouth-filling. Incredibly long finish that requires time to loosen up. Requires the most graceful yet natural prepared cuts of red meat and game, the finest quality vegetables, the richest abundance of mushrooms and truffles. Also delicious to drink on its own. Serving temperature: 17°C.
Great Wines, a Worthy Cause
This is a story about people, namely a man whose legacy we still treasure today.
Vasco Maria Eugénio de Almeida was born in Lisbon in 1913, the son of one of the most affluent families of 19th century Portugal but soon established strong ties with Évora and the Alentejo where, thanks to the legacy of his paternal grandfather, the family owned a considerable patrimony in land and real estate.
