Cortes de Cima Furnas 2021
Alentejo, Portugal | Red Wine | Atlantic Expression
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Description
Furnas 2021 is a red wine of pure Atlantic expression — elegant, light, mineral, and perfumed. A wine that challenges preconceptions about Alentejo, sourced from the sandy coastal soils near the mouth of the Mira River. With just 12.5% alcohol, it delivers remarkable depth and precision, with fresh herbal notes, raspberry, wild herbs, and cedar, wrapped in fine tannins with a fresh, maritime finish. An artisanal red for those who appreciate lightness with character.
