"Deep red in color, moving through shades of amber as it ages. Instantly appealing on the nose, with fruity hints that give way to notes of spices and vanilla. Complex and solid structure that offers a perfect balance of tannins and acidity." —winemaker

"Bright deep cherry red color with a high robe. Complex aromas of red and black fruit, black pepper and licorice. It is an elegant wine with a well balanced palate." —winemaker

"The José de Sousa Rosado Fernandes Cellar was founded in 1878 and was purchased by José Maria da Fonseca in 1986, fulfilling an old dream of producing wine in Alentejo, in an estate full of prestige and history. The estate is located in Reguengos de Monsaraz, and it is here that a 2.000 year old Roman tradition is kept alive. The José de Sousa Cellar owns 114 ceramic amphorae in which an ancient fermentation method takes place. Dark red with some depth, the Jose de Sousa shows aromas of dates, chocolate, oak, some vanilla, fig, and spices. On the palate, the wine is fruity, velvety, with good tannins, some complexity and a good acidity." —winemaker

"To the eye it shows a deep red color with violet ruby tones. On the nose, red fruits aromas remind of strawberries, cherries and plum. Harmonious, with a soft and velvety entry into the mouth. Of strong but balanced tannins, it is enjoyable to have alone or with pasta, meat, and pizza." —winemaker
