Evaristo pays homage to Lisbon - the city, with its eye-catching label reflecting the famous skyline of Lisbon, and the vineyards, with a easy-drinking blend of varietals representing the land.

Grape variety: 50% Touriga Nacional, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah/Shiraz, 10% Alicante Bouschet.

Current vintage: 2020.

The grapes for the Evaristo are sourced from carefully selected growers with vineyards across the Lisbon wine region, giving winemaker António Braga a wide range of fruit with different characteristics to work with and maximum blending options. Coastal vineyards situated to the west of the region experience a cooler microclimate and produce grapes with great freshness and aromatics. Vineyards found further inland are more sheltered from these cooling influences and bring a riper aroma profile and body to the blend.

Tasting notes: Deep ruby in colour. The nose boasts vibrant aromas of ripe cherries, juicy blackberries and blackcurrants. On the palate, plush tannins give a lovely mouthfeel and a crisp acidity carries the mellow fruit flavours onto the smooth finish.

Alcohol by volume: 13.5.

Serving suggestions: This easy-drinking wine is perfect enjoyed by itself with friends, or is delicious with cheese or a charcuterie board.

Winemaker: António Braga.

Vinification details: Upon arrival at the winery, the Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet grapes were destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel vats at controlled temperatures of 26°C and lasted for around eight days with regular punch downs and pump overs. Following fermentation and malolactic fermentation, the wines were kept in stainless steel and no oak was used in the winemaking in order to retain the vibrant fruit flavours. Following careful analysis and numerous tastings, the final blend was assembled, left to marry and then bottled in the spring following the harvest.
