J de José de Sousa Grande Reserva 2017 is a distinguished red wine from Portugal's Alentejo region, meticulously crafted by José Maria da Fonseca. This wine was produced from Grand Noir, Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional varieties, with the grapes being foot trodden in small “lagares” and fermented in 100 years old clay pots at the José de Sousa Winery in Reguengos de Monsaraz. After the 2011 harvest, the vintage of 2017 is considered a high-quality harvest.
