In the mouth shows a good volume with firm tannins combining with great barrels and acidity extremely balanced. Bottling February Bottles 75cl 400 Bottles 1,5 L Luis Duarte, and Rita and João Soares, pictured in their vineyard Malhadina Nova as one of the most exciting new properties I ve visited, and I m confident saying that this is perhaps the Alentejo s leading estate, even though they ve only been going since 2003, the first vintage here. It s the baby of the Soares family, who own a successful chain of wine shops (Garrafeira Soares) and a distribution business in the Algarve. I was met by Rita and João Soares, and consulting winemaker Luis Duarte was also on hand. Luis spent 18 years working with David Baverstock at Esporão and now consults for a range of properties including Quinta do Mouro and Herdade Grande in the Alentejo.
