Zambujeiro 2007



Zambujeiro 2007. Beautifull vision from an Alentejo wine region icon. In a near future will be avaiable to the first people who buy it.

Quinta da Murta Touriga Nacional 2007



13,5%, clean wine with a bordeaux colour and a rose aureola. Dark wine. Very dark indeed. Dried and vegetal aroma. It's still closed. In the mouth the wine is rough and very dry. I'd keep 6 months/ 1 year in the bottle.

Casa de La Ermita Dolce Monastrell 2006



14,5%, clean wine with soft aromas of red fruit, fresh, sweet, with some acidity and a nice finish.

Pico Madama Monastrell/Petit Verdot 2006



Astonishing wine for a small budget!!! 14%, clean and dark wine with aromas like dried figs, black fruit and "after eight" chocolate. Well balanced, fresh, full bodied and with a great finish. One of the best Spanish wines that I've drunk recently.

Casa de La Ermita Reserva 2004



14%, made with Monastrell, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. It's a dark wine almost black, with aromas like black chocolate, jam and sour cherry liqueur. It has structure, freshness and good acidity. Very nice finish.

Casa de La Ermita Petit Verdot 2005



14%, clean wine with a bordeaux colour. It has a sweet aroma, with fruits like strawberries, raspberries and cherries. We can also notice some vegetal aroma. This wine has structure, freshness, taninns and good acidity. Very nice wine!

Casa de La Ermita Crianza Monastrell 2006 (Biológico)



A completely different wine from the same house. 14%, clean ruby colour with strong aromas. Vanilla, chocolate, dried plums are the ones that I've noticed. It has structure, alive tannins and good acidity. Medium finish.
