Taifa 2021

Quinta da Fonte Souto Taifa embodies freshness, elegance and balance that derives from the vineyard’s altitude. With Taifa, we pursue even more selective harvesting, favouring specific, mature vineyard plots and earlier picking to ensure higher acidity. The term ‘Taifa’ refers to the numerous Muslim principalities and kingdoms that emerged in the Iberian Peninsula during the 11th century following the decline of the Córdoba Caliphate. What is now Portalegre integrated one of the most extensive Taifas.

This wine - the flagship white from the Symingtons' estate in northern Alentejo - fills the palate unapologetically, with fleshy layers of cooked quince, marzipan and apple strudel and top floral notes of apple blossom. Ripe nectarine and yellow apple are cloaked in glazed ginger and sprinkled with toasted almonds. Long smoky tail, with a wood-tannin grip.
