A great place to visit south of Beja

Wonderful tapas with a nice view from the terrace on the vineyards and the lake.
Good wine.

Un nez plutôt droit qui ne laisse pas présager la surprise du palais. Caramel avec un finish orange chocolat, une gourmandise.

It's hard not to like this one! Lots of fruit but without being boring, touch of oak without having the sensation to lick a piece of wood, good body but without being Mr Muscle, very soft and round tanins.
Very easy to drink and pretty good. Alentejo often offers us this kind of easy drinking wines.

Lots of fruit (pineapple), pretty good freshness for a wine from South Alentejo. Well designed and pretty agreable

Very fruity and with a little bit of oak, good volume, very round and soft, with an agreable fresh and balanced aftertaste. A pretty nice Alentejo wine.

A fruit bomb, very concentrated, lots of fruit, good oak, slightly sweet, very seducing, a modern wine much to the 'new world' fashion

Bouquet with pineapple, full-bodied but te lack of acidity and the alcohol at the end make it very heavy. Clearly below the 2006 version.

Arnaud Steve   reviewed Herdade dos Grous Reserva - 2006

A real fruit bomb! Lots of oak, lots of mature fruit, some chocolate and vanilla, very concentrated, a bit sweet, pretty long aftertaste.Very seducing, very easy, but the sweetness and the overall profile makes it quickly tiring.

Arnaud Steve   reviewed Herade dos Grous Moon Harvested - 2006

Very dark, bouquet with mature fruit (plum), spices. Pretty strong and full-bodied, long aftertaste. Not the most subtle wine, but a very interesting example of the quality the Alicante Bouschet can reach in the Alentejo.
