Herdade do Cebolal Caios Red 2011

Caios is a tribute to the great-great-grandfather of the producer, Caio de Loureiro, who marked the history and tradition of viticulture and winemaking in the family. At the end of the 19th century, he settled in Santiago do Cacém, on the Costa Alentejana. Recognizing the region's potential and qualities, it pioneered agro-industrial activity by planting the first vines in Herdade do Cebolal. His son, Francisco Caio, the producer's great-grandfather, had two very amusing words: "Life is too short to drink bad wine" and "Good wine is Cebolal wine." The earth, the sun and the rain, the grape and the man together create a wine that complements life. Caios represents the magic and mysteries of the aromas and flavors contained in the Herdade do Cebolal wines.
This wine was produced with Alicante Bouschet, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Touriga Nacional, aged 24 months in French oak barrels, is sophisticated and with personality.
