Alves de Sousa Abandonado

14.5% Vol
Abandanado is a very special wine, only produced in the very best vintages. The estate of Alves de Sousa builds on its knowledge of its vines year on year, and this allows them to produce wines of a consistently high standard! Deep flavour of eucalyptus, refined coffee and a hint of tar, with black fruits towards the back. It has an extraordinary tannin/ acidity back-bone, making it great for cellaring. Dense, complex but always very elegant. Very long finish.
