Trincadeira, Tinta Caiada and "various other bits and pieces." Gorgeous nose, crammed with berries and pot-pourri flowers and spices, there is a notable oak content, and that coal dust and tobacco dry, earthy freshness. The palate has lovely juice and black fruit sweetness, really ripe and mouth-filling, lovely soft structural elements giving it length and spice, the tobacco and spice of the finish staying juicy and ripe. Rating: 91 Tom Cannavan, www.wine-pages.com (Nov 2015)
Terras d'Alter
Terras d'Alter is in the Alto Alentejo region in the south of Portugal, where the history of wine growing dates back to Roman times. This extensive history, and a focus which remains largely on native Portuguese varietals, is combined with the New World expertise of dynamic & enterprising winemaker Peter Bright, an Australian making wine in Portugal since 1982.
