Cortes de Cima

Portuguese Syrah and indigenous blends from Alentejano's warm continental terroir.

Cortes de Cima produces red wines from Portugal's Alentejano region, where warm continental conditions favor dark-skinned varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Syrah, a grape that thrives in the region's climate and appears across multiple bottlings. The Reserva Tinto blends Syrah with indigenous Portuguese varieties—Aragonez, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Alicante Bouschet—creating a structured wine that reflects both international and regional character. A dedicated Syrah expression showcases the variety's potential in isolation. The winery's Homenagem A Hans Christian Andersen, also Syrah-based, rounds out a focused range. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff, reflecting their standing within critical circles. Alentejano's continental terroir—marked by significant diurnal temperature swings and mature vine plantings—yields wines with depth and aging potential, characteristics evident in Cortes de Cima's approach to both blended and varietal expressions.
