Quinta Do Gradil Syrah Tinto

Description

The Quinta do Gradil Syrah was aged for nine months in French oak barrels, becoming highly expressive with intense aromas of forest berries, punctuated by subtle chemical notes and a hint of minerality. Elegant on the palate, it showcases a harmony between the fruit and the evident yet well-integrated tannins. Quinta do Gradil has been part of the history of Portuguese wines since 1492. However, it was only in the 17th century that the vineyard and wine became part of the estate’s economic activity. The most decisive moment came in the 19th century, when Dona Maria do Carmo Romeiro da Fonseca inherited the estate from her father, turning it into a leading agricultural enterprise focused on wine production. Many years later, Quinta do Gradil remains a Portuguese benchmark worldwide, now led by Luís Vieira. (Illustrative image only)
