Monte Carochinha Red Gr. Res- Atlântico 750ml
Wine produced in Monte da Carochinha, a property located next to Sonega between the municipalities of Cercal and Sines. With a high view over the sea of Porto Covo, it benefits from a strong Atlantic influence combined with a mountain microclimate, where steep slopes in poor shale soils, surrounded by forest and rockrose, clearly mark its profile. Partially aged in new 300-liter French oak barrels, garnet in color, this wine shows aromas of black fruits complexed with spices and chocolate. It is structured, engaging in a smooth and persistent set
