A field-blend red from old vineyards, mixing five traditional Alentejo varieties into a deep garnet wine with dark fruit and mineral notes, built for traditional Alentejo cooking.
Tip: Pair it with grilled cured meats or aged cheese; the old-vine field-blend character shows best with rustic Alentejo food.
