Description and Reviews:
This is just the second rosé made at Fonte Souto and in 2021 the Aragonez grapes were picked at different times, aiming to achieve a wine with greater balance, with extra dimension and additional layers of aromas and flavours.
Lying on the slopes of the São Mamede Range at an altitude of 500 metres in the Alentejo sub-region of Portalegre, the property benefits from cooler and wetter conditions than the hot Alentejo plain. The Fonte Souto wines express the freshness and elegance provided by the altitude, as well as the structure and complexity from the estate’s extensive collection of mature, low-yielding vines.
TASTING NOTE
Attractive, pale coppery colour. Expressive aromas of raspberry and strawberry sorbet with a hint of watermelon in the background. Flinty freshness delivers invigorating appeal. Beautifully crisp and well defined in the mouth with fine acidity providing a citric streak, which precedes delicate flavours of gooseberry and red berries. The dry finish underpins the wine’s elegance and balance.
Allergy advice: Contains Sulphites. Compatible with vegetarian and vegan diets.
