Anta dos Lobos Selection Vinho Tinto 2017

Alentejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalThis Alentejo family dates back to the 15th Century, when one of their ancestors was named the first Baron and Marquis of Alvito (the first Baron title) from King Afonso V. Their coat of arms bore 5 wolves, and today it is five young cousins who are overseeing this winery and its 75ha of vines. This easy Alentejo red blends aragonez, touriga nacional, castelão, and trincadeira, all fermented and aged briefly in inox. Cherry, plum, blackberry, and raspberry is tinged with dusky baking spices on a short palate. Tannins are slightly stubby, and acidity is bright. Simple and authentic and ready for drinking now.Tasted: 05 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
