2018 Sonhador, Magnum

Produced in Portalegre to the north east of the Alentejo on the granite foothills of the São Mamede mountains, where cooler temperatures, along with many old vines, gives complexity and freshness.

“Very dark and smells of tiny, little, ripe dark berries but also some red fruit. Much purer than the earlier vintages. Dark, fresh and peppery. Lovely freshness and fine, dry tannins add to that freshness. Vibrant and aromatic. Much more finesse, too. Long, dark-fruited, dark-chocolate texture.” Julia Harding for Jancis Robinson, 17 points
