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.

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

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

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

Ripe & fruit forward with dark cherry & blackberry and a whiff of Mediterranean herbs.
Rich yet very fresh & balanced on the palate with beautifully polished & juicy tannins and a perfect balance between the sweet fruit and sappy acidity.
This is a nice one - richer & heavier yet very drinkable at the same time.
Excellent match with grilled meat. — 5 years ago

Tried at a wine expo in Lisbon. Kept chilled! Never seen a Syrah chilled before but there were a couple of folks doing this. Curious as to why! New oak, 100% Syrah, light on nose with cherry, plum, herbs, earthiness. Med + tannin, fairly full body, but the temperature threw me off. — 9 years ago

Delicious. Had with caiçaola. The wine held up well and the dish really emphasized the spiciness. Full bodied. Lots of cherry in the nose. Lots of fruit, chocolate, tobacco. Would love to have again. — 2 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

Although not a grape variety native to the Alentejo region of Portugal, this red had a full body with earthy tones that pairs well with red meats and fatty fish and seafood. — 9 years ago
