Casa Santos Lima is a family owned company with over 400 hectares of vineyards in Lisbon, Algarve and Alentejo, Vinho Verde and Douro. Most of Casa Santos Lima’s estates are located in Alenquer, 45km north of Lisbon, in a region where wine production is centuries old. The vineyards are planted in gentle slopes with altitudes between 100 and 220 meters benefiting from an excellent sun exposition and a climate slightly tempered by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, 25 km away from the property. This is one of the richest wine regions due to the diversity of grape varieties, type of soils and climate.
The fresh summer nights and gentle winters are a key factor for the production of quality grapes. The maritime influence contributes for the production of wines with a nice acidity, a very typical characteristic from this region.
The Topo Tinto is a blend of Castelão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Shiraz, and Touriga Franca. Fermented in steel but with partial ageing in oak barrels to round off the blend.
Packed with lovely aromatic exuberance, with notes of red fruits and vanilla. Fruity on the palate, balanced by hints of spices, chocolate and toasty flavours from the oak. An elegant wine with velvety tannins and a fruity finish.
