O Produtor, tasting note published in February 1st 2017
Mature fruit of great quality, cassis, black plum, mineral notes and spicy, with enormous elegance. Impressive in the cleanliness and expression of the fruit, with an austere, spicy taste, with satin tannins and a very long finish, full of personality and distinction.
A wine that results from the partnership and friendship of José Bento dos Santos and M. Chapoutier. A unique combination of soils and climate that we find in this farm, where Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Petit Verdot and Viognier are planted, with which the producer has made some of the most acclaimed wines in Portugal and the world.

Quinta do Monte D'Oiro
Located in the Lisbon region, Quinta do Monte d’Oiro has been a reference since the 17th century in the production of remarkable wines. It was acquired in 1986 by the gastronomic conaisseur José Bento dos Santos, who replanted the best plots – after several years of studies on the soil and climate conditions – with the grape varieties that best adapted to his designs of producing high quality wines, European style (Old World”), which concomitantly were wines of refined gastronomic sense, with a profile eminently tailored to accompany in perfect harmony dishes of a genuine regional cuisine, classical cuisine or haute cuisine. After the first years of consolidation of a consistent high quality wine production, Quinta do Monte d’Oiro entered a new phase in its history from the 2006 harvest, launching a new image and wines from a conversion to organic agriculture. Of the 42 ha of the property, only 15.5 ha were replanted with Syrah, Viognier and Petit Verdot, imported directly from their original regions in France, and with the Portuguese grape varieties Touriga Nacionaland Tinta Roriz.
