Lima Mayer Reserva Tinto

Description

This Lima Mayer Reserva, hailing from the historic Quinta de São Sebastião in Monforte, feels like a deliberate nod to the traditions of the Alto Alentejo. The granite soils, combined with the influence of the Azinho and Sobro cork oaks, give it a wonderfully mineral character – a hallmark of the region, enhanced by the addition of the local *ribeiras*. A generous blend of Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Petit Verdot contributes to the wine’s fullness and complexity, and it’s a beauty that’s sure to please serious Alentejo wine lovers; we reckon it’d be fantastic with a grilled fish and a classic rice dish like *arroz de cabidela*.
