The estate is located in Reguengos de Monsaraz, and it is here that a 2.000 year old Roman tradition is kept alive. The José de Sousa Cellar owns 114 ceramic amphorae in which an ancient fermentation method takes place.
Deep red color.
Rock rose, maritime pine, pepper, tobacco leaf and smoked on the nose.
Round soft tannins, smoked black pepper.
