This 2019 Solstício from Cabeças do Reguengo is a composed field blend woven of Trincadeira, Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Tinta de Olho Branco and Castelão from ancient vines at nearly 600 metres on granitic soils in the Serra de S. Mamede. It matured patiently for 23 months in venerable French oak barrels resulting in a wine of fine structure and rustic elegance. Dark fruit melds with mineral undercurrents and a noble austerity that speaks of its place.
