Monte da Ravasqueira Syrah Viognier - Red Wine

Monte da Ravasqueira Syrah Viognier - Red Wine is a wine from the Alentejo region that combines the Syrah and Viognier grape varieties in a blend with a distinctive and very expressive profile. Produced by Monte da Ravasqueira, it results from a careful winemaking process, with the separation of bunches on a sorting table and co-fermentation in a traditional lagar (traditional stone trough), an approach that contributes to aromatic integration and overall complexity. The 18 months of aging in new French oak barrels adds depth, structure, and elegance, resulting in an intense red wine with great character.

On the nose, it reveals notes of bell pepper, ripe red fruit, tar, and a more subtle side of peach and apricot. On the palate, it shows volume, minerality, and a very well-achieved balance between tannins and acidity, resulting in an engaging and vibrant tasting experience. Throughout the tasting, nuances of mocha, coffee, and biscuit emerge, supported by fine-grained tannins and a freshness that prolongs the finish. It is a complex, harmonious, and persistent wine, ideal for those seeking an Alentejo red with its own identity and great intensity.
