👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet with purple highlights—intense and expressive.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and complex, with notes of blackberry, black plum, and wild herbs. Hints of cedar, spice, and dark chocolate reflect the influence of French oak and cool-elevation terroir.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and smooth, with ripe black fruit, firm yet polished tannins, and fresh acidity. Earthy undertones and spice add complexity to a long, savoury finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Excellent with roast lamb, venison, grilled mushrooms, or Portuguese feijoada. Also pairs beautifully with firm cheeses and charcuterie.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Ready to enjoy now, but can age gracefully for 8–10 years, gaining depth and integration.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Quinta da Fonte Souto is a flagship expression of high-altitude Alentejo—robust yet refined, combining mountain freshness with the richness of southern Portugal. A standout wine from the Symington family’s first venture beyond the Douro.
