Cortes de Cima – Incognito

The name “Incógnito” was born from the clandestine nature of the Syrah grape in 1990s Portugal. Today, this wine has become an icon of the region and represents one of the most elegant and refined expressions of Syrah on Alentejo soils.

Cortes de Cima’s flagship wine had not been produced since the 2014 vintage, and now returns to the market under the estate’s new holistic philosophy, guided by the visionary winemaker Anna Jørgensen.
The 2021 vintage is absolutely stunning, showcasing elegance and refinement at the highest level.
Farmed organically and harvested by hand at night, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with partial whole clusters, followed by gentle infusion and 24 months of ageing in seasoned French oak. The result is a wine of remarkable balance and precision: fragrant with dark fruit, wild blackberry, black pepper, and herbs, layered over a velvety palate framed by fine tannins.

Powerful yet restrained, Incógnito 2021 is a true benchmark Syrah, marrying depth with freshness in a long, vibrant finish.
