Best Varietal Red Wine - Concurso Vinhos de Portugal 2022
2019 Quinta da Fonte Souto Alfrocheiro red
Free shipping to Description
Quinta da Fonte Souto is the first property acquired by the Symington family beyond the Douro. Located in the sub-region of Portalegre in the Alto Alentejo, close to the Serra de São Mamede, the estate benefits from altitude and a cool microclimate, however, due to the schist and granite soils, yields are low, enabling the production of more concentrated and fresher wines.
With about 207 hectares, of which 43 are vineyards, the property is not only focused on the planting of vines for wine production but also has a substantial area of chestnut trees, from which the name "souto" (chestnut grove) derives.
The first wines from Quinta da Fonte Soute, were launched in 2019 and immediately made success. A Douro oenology adapted to the Alentejo privilege.
