Horácio Simões Old School "Signature"

The vines grow near Palmela on sandy soils. Bastardo and Castelão are processed with minimal intervention; vinification takes place in a Lagar, after which the wine matures in used barrels. In the glass, it shows an open ruby-red colour and aromas of red fruit, balsamic notes, herbs, spices and old wood. On the palate, it is fresh, soft and at the same time intense, with medium to full body, fine tannins and a long, food-friendly finish. Several vintages are in circulation; the vintage therefore cannot be determined reliably without a bottle image.
