Chão Dos Eremitas Moreto Tinto

Description

This Moreto Chão dos Eremitas isn’t just wine; it’s a genuine journey back in time. Born from a rare devotion to the Moreto grape, with DNA tracing back to the monks’ era, it’s a 3000-year testament to Alentejo’s viticultural heritage. Cultivated on a particularly fortunate site – where trickling streams keep the soil refreshingly cool and water’s never lower than 5 metres – the wine showcases the Moreto’s inherent intensity and the meticulous care of its integrated production. The unearthing of an 8th-century BC Phoenician amphora adds an undeniably singular character. With a 40-day maceration on the skins and aging in old barrels, this Moreto is an invitation to indulge in a truly sensory experience – ideally paired with dishes like black pork or wild mushrooms.
