Quinta dos Aciprestes Sousão reveals all the essence of a Douro Sousão through a dark and deep color, typical of this well-known variety. On the nose, very light vegetable nuances stand out that combine with fine notes of ripe fruit and tertiary notes typical of the variety, such as coffee and spices, offering complexity and a lot of aromatic intensity. On tasting, it is elegant and smooth, with round and smooth tannins, something uncommon in wines produced from the Sousão variety.

Pairs well with rustic dishes such as feijoada from Trás-os-Montes, wild boar in a pot, grilled octopus and strong cheeses from Beira Baixa. A vegetarian suggestion would be broths based on onions or eggplants.

Following the gently sloping contours of the Douro River, Quinta dos Aciprestes has seen a complete re-plantation of its vineyards, with the noblest varieties of the region. The optimal microclimate at the 100 hectares of vineyard, located within Cima Corgo close to the Douro Superior sub-region, offers ideal conditions for perfect ripening of the grapes. Sousão! A powerful Red that assembles all the characteristics of this famed varietal allied to the Quinta dos Aciprestes Terroir. This variety has been present in the region for many years, but very rarely used as a single varietal wine. We believe this wine will transmit yet another style of Douro as well as our passion to discover the singularities of each grape.
