Love! Drank all by myself. Crisp light — 6 months ago
45% Alicante Bouchet—oooh, a teinturier—plus 30% Syrah (which makes its presence known in smoky, meaty notes) and 25% Alfrocheiro. Hearty wine, textured without being, say, thick. There’s a bit of raisination on the nose countered by salinity, a little licorice and a lot of smoked meat. On the palate, it keeps on with that contrast being heady but also vibrant. There’s some silky chocolate vibes underneath it all. A delight for dinner, but you can sip it solo if you so choose. — 3 years ago

Nice medium to full bodied red. Red fruit and pepper on the nose. Ripe cherry with a light oak finish. Enjoyed with lamb in cream-Dijon sauce. Would pair with pastas, roasted chicken or pork. — 3 months ago
Actually a blend of Cab Sauv, Castelão, Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet. This wine is a very dark purple, almost inky. The nose is also dark, showing blackberry notes alongside savory tobacco, spice and earth, all in a very smokey framework. The palate of this interesting blend is nearly stunning. Tannins have a good grip, but the blue fruit flavors are amazing and the acidity leaves the sipper salivating. It seems bizarre to me that this wine cost less than $10. It drinks like it should cost much more.

Always nice. With chicken scapariello. — 3 years ago
2021 vintage. Quinta da Fonte Souto is the first project from the Symingtons outside the Douro region. A 207 hectares estate with a around 45 hectares od vineyards in a cooler climate ( 500 m alitude) than the Alentejo plains. Florão is the entry level. This 2021 is a blend of Arinto ( 80%) and Verdelho ( 20%). Attractive nose with fresh ripe pineapple, flowers and a hint of fresh mint. Crisp and juicy. Very good value. — 3 years ago
It is one of the best sweet sparkling wines I've ever tasted. You don't feel alcohol, when you drink it, because it tastes like lemonade, but after a couple of while, you definitely feel everything 😅 — 4 years ago

One of the nicer, more balanced Portuguese wines that we have had. — 3 years ago
Deep purple in color; black cherries, blackberries, and herbs (maybe thyme) on the nose; medium acidity; tastes like plum, a hint of green peppercorns, and blackberries with a long finish. Nellie and Bri didn't like it with spaghetti and I agree. — 3 years ago
Nice oak, leather and tobacco. Perfect daily wine — 3 years ago
Delicious. Is that the least or most useful tasting note? But this is. It’s is a rich dish that someone thought fit to squeeze a lemon on to brighten that dish up. The new oak is in play and probably the biggest factor, but the acid is there—somehow gently cutting through.
Something still keeps it from being transcendent but you are definitely going to desire a second glass. — 5 years ago
