Monte da Penha Terroir - Red 2015

The name "Terroir" reflects our dedication to capturing the essence of the soil, altitude, and mesoclimate that make the Serra de São Mamede unique. Produced from 12 hectares of old vines planted in 1987, following the registry of Tapada do Chaves, a historic property associated with our family, this red wine is a genuine expression of Portalegre's character.

The Trincadeira, Aragonês, Alicante Bouschet, and a small percentage of Moreto grape varieties give it a unique balance. Moreto, used in minimal percentages, was traditionally used by our grandfather and great-grandfather Joaquim da Cruz Baptista to impart natural acidity to the wines, connecting this red wine to family history.

The label features a watercolor of a pomegranate, a symbol of ripe red fruit and freshness, qualities that also define this wine. Originating from vineyards located between 400 and 600 meters of altitude, planted in granitic, clay-limestone, and schist soils, the Terroir Tinto 2015 benefits from a temperate microclimate, with warm days and cool, humid nights, ideal for balanced grape ripening. With freshness, complexity, and excellent aging potential, this wine follows the lineage of our Reserves, celebrating the best of Portalegre's terroir.

The Terroir Tinto 2015 reflects Monte da Penha's commitment to creating wines that convey the authenticity of the region in every bottle, capable of evolving and surprising over the years.
