Cortes de Cima

2021 Cortes de Cima Furnas

Vinho Regional Alentejano
A blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 20% Jaen (Mencia) and 20% Syrah
Red wine

The pure essence of the Alentejan Atlantic coast. A blend of our best coastal vineyards nestled in the foothills of the S. Luis Range where the River Mira meets the Ocean.

Soaring aromatics of dried herbs, crushed graphite, rose water and exotic spices, transcend into the palate in an inner aromatic lift. Pure and pristine, with an oceanic quality to its freshness. A delicate sandy tannin ever so slightly grounds this ethereal wine.
