Gloria Reynolds Tinto

Description

Smooth, with a fresh and fruity aroma that harmonises perfectly with oak. On the palate it is structured, fresh, with round and elegant tannins, culminating in a long and pleasant finish. A natural, pure red wine. Thomas Reynolds, an English sailor and merchant, arrived in Portugal in 1820, drawn by the wine trade, and had two sons, Thomas and Robert. From Porto he supplied his commercial warehouse in London with Iberian products. In 1838 they entered the cork industry in Spain, expanding into Portugal and eventually establishing themselves in Estremoz. After the family moved to New Zealand, Robert remained in Estremoz to head the business, rapidly expanding it through the acquisition of new lands and the production of quality wines—a venture he pursued with particular dedication and passion. Alentejo became the definitive cradle of the Portuguese Reynolds and of Robert, the family patriarch. From that cradle come Robert's firstborn son, Robert Rafael, and from him, Carlos. Carlos has a first daughter named Gloria, Gloria Reynolds. In her honour, and that of all his ancestors who lived in Alentejo, Julian, Gloria's son, produces a quality wine named after his mother – Gloria Reynolds (illustrative image only).
