Quinta do Monte d’Oiro Reserva Red 2015

This wine with organic production is a Syrah with 4% Viognier (co-fermented) aged 18 to 20 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which new ones.
In the glass, it has a dark ruby red and carries aromas of blackberries and pepper. It needed some time to open, but when it did it presented us blackberry, pepper, and some wood notes. A good balance, pleasant tannin structure, very tasty and smooth wine with a wonderful lingering finish.
It deserves all the awards it has been receiving, as, TOP 10 of Revista de Vinhos or the 94 Points from @Wine Enthusiast.

Quinta do Monte d'Oiro

Quinta do Monte d'Oiro ('Hill of Gold Estate') is located in the Lisbon region, 50 km north of the Portuguese capital, nestled between the Montejunto mountains and 20 kilometers from the Atlantic ocean. The terroir is a combination of limestone and clay soil, wiht a Mediterranean micro-climate (similar to the Rhône's Mistral), enabling slow ripening, natural acidity, moderate alcohol level and smooth tannins.
