More information about 2021 Lenda tinto
Lenda ( port. = legend) comes from Julio Tassara Bastos, who lives on the Quinta do Carmo in Estremoz. The harmonious cuvée made from the Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez and Trincadera grape varieties, which are grown at 400 meters above sea level, has a ruby red color and a fruity aroma with lots of blackberries.
The taste is dry, juicy, with fruity wild berries, a strong body; the tannins are very round and well integrated. A wonderfully harmonious wine with a long finish. Sandra Gonzalves, the oenologist, presents great wine taste even for little money.

In 1992, he formed a joint venture with Lafite/ Domaines Barons de Rothschild under the name Quinta do Carmo. In 2000, he got out of this project and invested in the restoration of his own Quinta do Carmo as well as in state-of-the-art technology and old vineyards in order to build on his earlier successes of the 1980s with the Dona Maria wine. That he has succeeded in this is proven by his successes with the first vintage of 2003: great gold at Mundus Vini, only 17 times this award was given out of 4445 wines submitted.
