Product information

Quinta da Fonte Souto is a new wine project from the Symington family in the exciting Portalegre sub-region of the Alto Alentejo in southern Portugal. It was always going to take something special for them to take their first steps beyond the Douro, and with this stunning property situated at a relatively high altitude within the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park to the east of the hot Alentejo plain, they believe they have found all the conditions they were looking for. This is a long-term project with the objective of putting the unique terroir of this sub-region on the map, for wine lovers in Portugal and elsewhere around the world.

Tasting Notes
A weighty intensly flavoured wine, full of juicy dark plum and blackberry flavours with a great herbal spiceness giving the wine a good structural backbone.
History
The Symington Family have been making top quality wines and ports in Portugal since 1882. Today the company is managed by the 4th and 5th generation who carry on the families dedication to producing the best possible wines winning the top awards at all the international competitons. They are one of the Top 50 Most Admired Wine Brands in the World and in 2019 were declared the Most Ethical Drinks Company in the World
Regional Information
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

Vinification Details
The hand-picked grapes are placed in small, shallow boxes and taken to the on-site winery. Manual sorting is followed by destemming and gentle crushing
after which grapes are transferred to the fermentation vats. Fermentations are individually monitored, and the temperature and macerations are adjusted to maximise the potential of each fermenting batch.

Really delicious

I love this Alentejo wine from the Symington family. It has great flavour and depth. Not too strong. Easy to drink and goes with anything. Really delicious.

Excellent Red

A delicious and balanced Portuguese red. Rich and bold with a light spiciness yet still packed full of bright berry and cherry flavours. Well worth its price tag.

Superb quality red!

Recently tried the white Florao - excellent! The red is equally good - smooth, not heavy, good balance of flavour.
