TCJ assessment

An excellent and notably elegant expression of Alentejo, showing a degree of precision that sets it apart from the broader, more powerful style often associated with the region. There is depth, but the wine never relies on weight for impact.

The palate is composed and finely balanced, with structure and fruit working together rather than competing for attention. Its elegance is particularly convincing, giving the wine definition and a sense of restraint.

Despite already showing considerable harmony, the 2019 still feels youthful and has plenty of life ahead. A precise and refined interpretation of the region, with the structure and balance to develop further in bottle.
