* No shipping, please collect in one of our shops *

This Portuguese wine from the Alentejo region (in the south of Portugal, in between Lisbon and the Algarve) blends Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It is aged for 6 months in used French oak barrels. Easy to enjoy, it shows a nose full of sweet red fruits combined with toasty notes. On the palate, it is fruity, medium-bodied, with soft tannins and good acidity. 

Created in 2004, the Rapariga da Quinta wines are made from grapes from a family estate in Reguengos de Monsaraz, called Terra Calma.

Before joining Luis Duarte's company she was the president of the Alentejo wine region.
