Other Info:

Terras de Alter is made up of two of Portugal’s most experienced agricultural firms and Pink Living, a company belonging to well known oenologist Peter Bright. A native Aussie, Peter has an extensive CV in the field of production and international marketing of wine. Terras de Alter’s aim is to introduce premium quality Alentejo wine into the international market. The vineyards cover extensive plains and gentle hills always providing intense exposure to sunlight. It is this amount of sunlight that is the key to producing the intense concentration of flavour that these wines display.

The nose and palate are filled with cherry and red fruits. Silky and rich tannins support a fine acidity and a great depth of flavour. Very long finish with spicy fruit flavours coming through.

Press:

"Nice light colour ('Portugal's Pinot Noir') and lovely soft nose, the creamy French oak and a nice briar note, with 20% whole bunches and stems giving lovely soft berry fruit and briar, long with gentle spice and lovely balance. Yummy. 88/100"
