Casa Santos Lima Syrah Tinto

Description

This Syrah from Casa Santos Lima is quite the little miracle – a Lisbon producer pulling off something genuinely remarkable from the Alentejo. The soil, speckled with the fossils of *Apatosaurus alenquerensis* and influenced by the Atlantic, delivers a surprising complexity. Expect vibrant red fruits like raspberries and cherries, but don’t be fooled by the initial freshness; the finish is remarkably long-lived, a true reflection of the vineyard’s character. Wonderful with grilled fish or a good, robust cigar.
