Humilitas Reserve Syrah 2017

Humilitas is the Latin word for humility, which is opposed to vanity, that is what this wine intends to express, without wanting to overpower and treading its own path.
Deep garnet colour. Intense and complex aroma of ripe fruit, liqueur sour cherry, toasted almond, clove and java pepper. In the mouth it is very dense, concentrated, firm tannins suggesting a long evolution capacity. Fresh and elegant, long finish with soft notes of violet.

In 2011, José Rodrigues was captivated by the Alentejo plains and decided to purchase Monte da Ribeira, an estate measuring approximately 12 hectares near Évora, on a plot belonging to the former Herdade da Avessada, where he planted an orchard and a small vineyard.
Buying a tractor and other agricultural equipment to cultivate the land created the need for a garage to store them. But in a protected landscape such as his, that construction would only be possible if included in an industrial project, such as a winery, which prompted José Rodrigues’ desire to plant more vines and produce his own wine.
José Rodrigues wanted the winery to be designed by the architect Jorge Fragoso Pires, who conceived it in perfect harmony with the surroundings, but with functionality as the main concern.
Through “small and steady steps”, as described by the producer, Monte da Ribeira has gradually established itself not only as an excuse for family and friends to come together, but as a place that creates unique and exclusive wines.
José Rodrigues insists on personally presenting the wines, and is pleased with the results of this project, which he intends to keep growing.
