Records show that a Foral (royal decree) was bestowed on the city of Evora by King Manuel I in 1501. The Cartuxa winery has combined ancient practices with today’s know how to create this unique wine. This red is a blend of Alicante, Tinta Caiada and Trincadeira, planted in the Fundação Eugénio de Almeida vineyards. When the grapes reach optimum maturation they are carefully picked and brought to the winery where they are fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. The wine is further macerated before maturing for eight months in barrel and ageing for four months in bottle prior to release. Elegant and full bodied with notes of ripe fruit and warm spices, on the palate the wine is concentrated and replete with rounded tannins.
