José De Sousa Puro Talha Tinto

Description

This José Maria da Fonseca from the Alentejo is a delightfully old-school affair. Crafted using a massive 1600-litre amphora and a smaller 300-litre “tarefa” vessel, the grapes are traditionally crushed by foot and ferment for a full eight days, a process that truly lets the terroir shine through. The result – a rich, robust liquor – is brimming with notes of dried fruit and spice, carrying a distinct earthy character, and boasting a finish that lingers impressively long. As Robert Parker rightly noted, a solid 91 points – a testament to a truly immersive wine experience, best enjoyed with a hearty, slow-cooked roast.
