Terras de Alter, Terra D’Alter Telhas Tinto 2013, Vinho Regional Alentejo, Portugal

Tasting Note: The plushest of purple fruit from a Portuguese blend of syrah (95%) and viognier (5%) that benefits from indigenous-yeast fermentation.

Deep-intensity ruby in color this wine has an aromatic nose of macerated raspberry, red plum, fig compote, blackberry and clove baking spice.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus bodied wine presents fruit suggested on the nose in a concentrated, yet plush style.

The wine is creamy in texture with ripe, reserved fruit and medium acidity.
