Winery
This is the banner-bearer wine of the property, whose name is inspired by the beautiful soutos located near the vineyards that are at its origin, namely the best plots of Alicante Bouschet and Syrah, which contribute practically equal parts to this Souto Vineyard of the family's debut harvest. The low production of these plots give rise to a precise and concentrated wine, with elegant structure that reflects the remarkable freshness provided by the higher quotas of the privileged location on the slopes of the Serra de São Mamede that rises from the Alentejo plain, warmer and drier.

Country: Portugal

Most of us are quick to associate Portugal primarily with the excellent fortified wines which come out of the Porto area, but there is much more to Portuguese viticulture than just this. Perhaps the most popular still wines the country produces are the varieties from the Vinho Verde region, which uses grapes that do not achieve high doses of sugar, meaning the wines are at their best when young and full of natural, springy fruit flavors The wines of the Douro region have undergone many transformations in their flavor and character over the centuries; once regarded as a bitter wine, the exporters experimented with fortifying the wine with brandy. After several centuries, vintners found a balance in the modern age which is at once reminiscent of Port wine, yet with the structure and character closer to other fine Portuguese wines. Thanks to the appellation system of Portugal and the strict laws governing wine production, Portuguese wines continue to maintain their reputation for quality and the distinctive characteristics they carry.
