Cortes de Cima Incógnito Tinto 2020

Our iconic wine, born an outlaw in 1998 when Syrah wasn’t allowed in the Alentejo. Rich in history and provenance, the 2020 vintage marks the 15th edition of this wine and presents itself as a refined version, fruit of our best silty limestone terroir, regenerative organic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar.

Grape Varieties: 100% Syrah

Soil: Sandy, silty limestone

Tasting Notes: Effortlessly combining power and elegance, a nuanced and ever-evolving bouquet displays preserved cranberries, red cherries and persimmon, interlaced with hints of cured meats and a crack of fresh black Pepper. All held in vibrant frame of fine, chalky tannins that carry the wine through to a graceful and seamless finish.

Vinification: Handpicked at night, spontaneous fermentation, 40% whole cluster, 2 weeks maceration with gentle extraction.

Ageing: 12 months in second used 500L French Oak barrels, followed by 6 months in a stainless steel tank.

Bottled in the family state July 2022.
