Chão dos Eremitas Os Paulistas Red 2020

The Paulistas, the name given to the hermits of the Order of Saint Paul, made their wine here so long ago that the date has been lost in memory. However, the Papal Bull of 1397 exempted “The Paulistas” from taxes on their vineyards, demonstrating the importance of this place. The place is special and receives two streams that bring water from Serra D'Ossa and keep the water close and the soil cool, meaning there is no need for irrigation for the grapes to develop properly. The grapes are also from another time. Planted in 1970, Tinta Carvalha, Moreto, Castelão, Alfrocheiro and Trincadeira, show that there was another Alentejo, without irrigation and without improving varieties. An Alentejo that is worth recovering - this is our tribute to the Paulistas. Ruby color with some violet touches, medium concentration. On the nose, lots of red forest fruit, some bush. Fresh attack, good fruit with notes of pomegranate. Very fine, long and with structure.
