Full tasting note and wine making �/h2>

Terra d’Alter Tinto Reserva Alto is made from a blend of four grape varieties including 30% Trincadeira, 30% Tinta Caiada, 20% Petit Verdot, and 20% Alicante Bouschet. It is made from selected old vine grapes grown at the higher altitudes of the Alto Alentejo and is fermented in small tanks with prolonged maceration & the top wines from these grapes are selected for 22 months barrel aging resulting in a rich and complex wine typical of the this special region of Portugal. There are aromas of ripe soft red fruit, violets with tarry/spicy notes. On the palate there are layers of ripe fruit, good acidity and structure. It is a full flavoured big fruity wine with integrated oak followed by a soft, prolonged finish.
