2020 O Gordo red

O Gordo is a red wine produced at the Encosta do Sobral estate, from the Castelão, Aragonês and Trincadeira grape varieties, whose grapes are influenced by the temperate Mediterranean climate of the Tomar Mountains. After ageing for about 4 months in French oak barrels, it has an intense ruby colour, and fresh red fruit aromas combined with light floral notes. In the mouth it is an elegant wine, balanced and with soft tannins that give it a medium persistence and a medium-long finish.

Encosta do Sobral is an estate in the sub-region of Tomar, situated in the northernmost vineyards of the Tejo, which is distinguished by its schist soils. With 70 hectares of vineyard, it is privileged for its geographical location and unique landscape.

Santos & Seixo is a family company, formed by two families.

Alzira dos Santos and Pedro Seixo dreamed of taking up the history of both families and dedicating themselves body and soul to wine. The dream became reality when they carried out their first harvests in the country's most emblematic regions, Douro and Alentejo, in 2010.

The project grew and today the family owns properties and produces wines in Douro, Alentejo and the Vinho Verde region. In a combination of modern and traditional, from the careful selection of grapes to the production and ageing in oak barrels, all processes are done to preserve as much as possible the genuineness of the grape.
