Herdade Papa Leite Pacto Do Diabo Tinto

Description

Pacto do Diabo from Herdade Papa Leite is a red wine made from a blend of Alicante Bouschet, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It displays a garnet hue and aromas of jam, blackberry compote and ginja, intertwined with floral nuances. On the palate it shows a pronounced spicy character, reflecting the good integration of the oak it spent 20 months aging in. Herdade Papa Leite, located in Alter do Chão in the heart of Alto Alentejo, dates back to the 17th century, and traces of that era can still be seen today. After many families passed through the estate, it was Filipe Barreiros Cardoso, who, enamoured with the property, purchased it and, with the support of his family and team, fulfilled an old dream of producing high‑quality products. The estate has since been expanded and revitalised, encompassing 320 hectares devoted to wine, olive oil and cattle production. The vines are planted on clay soils, and the grapes are harvested at night and carefully selected before they enter the cellar, where the wine is produced with the finest raw material available.
