Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
The Fonte Souto Estate Red reflects the unique terroir of this high-altitude property in the São Mamede Range. The combination of freshness and balance from elevation, concentration from low-yielding mature vines, and structure from a carefully balanced blend of varieties define this elegant wine.
The Blend
is led by Syrah and Alicante Bouschet, with supporting contributions from Alfrocheiro and old-vine field blends.
Winemaking
Hand-harvested grapes were placed in shallow boxes, manually sorted, destemmed, and gently crushed before transfer to fermentation vats. Each fermentation was carefully monitored, with temperature and maceration adjusted according to the batch. Post-fermentation maceration enhanced tannin extraction, adding structure and longevity. Bottled in March 2020. Winemakers Charles Symington, Pedro Correia, and José Daniel Soares. Grape Varieties 40% Syrah 30% Alicante Bouschet 20% Alfrocheiro 10% Old Vines (field blend) Ageing 50% of the blend aged for 8 months in second- and third-year 400L French oak barrels. Tasting Note Aromas of pine forest with notes of resin, pine needles, and a touch of mint, interwoven with ripe black plum and berry fruits. On the palate, the wine is finely textured, offering bright blackberry flavours with a subtle hint of liquorice from the Syrah. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity create tension and balance, leading to a long, persistent finish that hints at excellent ageing potential. Storage & Serving Ready to drink now but with good capacity for ageing. Serve at 16–18°C.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
