The Story Behind the Bottle
This is a special wine celebrating 250 years since the birth in 1775 of the first Count of Sobral, one of the first owners of Quinta do Casal Branco. The Cuvée’s name is a nod to his wife, the eldest daughter of Count Louis de Narbonne-Lara. The Count of Sobral was renowned for his innovations in agriculture and for replanting the estate’s original vineyards after they had been uprooted by Royal decree. Current owner, José Lobo de Vasconcelos, is part of this great Sobral dynasty and marks his ancestor’s birth with this special red – finest Merlot and Cabernet grapes, traditionally pressed by foot in the stone lagares. A year’s ageing in French oak casks lends complexity. Dark fruits, with toasty spice notes, this red is velvety and long.
