Elaboration

Wine from DOC Alentejo, Portugal, made from Alicante Bouschet, Syrah grapes and a blend of old vine varieties. Alicante Bouschet was once a popular French red grape, but has now settled perfectly in the Alentejo region of Portugal, where it is nicknamed "Tinta de Escrever", as well as in some parts of Spain, where it is called Garnacha Tintorera or Negral. Grape harvesting is done manually. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. It has aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months.

Taster´s notes

Deep purple color with a massive structure and rustic tannins. Intense and complex aroma. Smell of ripe blackberries, balsamic notes obtained after aging in barrels. Full-bodied taste with soft tannins and a long, lingering finish. We recommend combining wine with intense dishes: smoked meat, grilled vegetables, pork or baked lamb. The ideal serving temperature is 16ºC.

The Winery

The Casa da Urra is located at the heart of a 180 – hectare estate near the picturesque hamlet of Urra, overlooking the delightful city of Portalegre. It is situated in an attractive location among vineyards, pasture for sheep and montado or dehesa landscape, in the Alto Alentejo region, not far from the Spanish frontier, where the Alentejo plain ends and the breath–taking São Mamede Hills begins. The house, originally in a state of ruin, was completely renovated by a couple of art and culture lovers, doctors by profession.
