18.5 points Wine Magazine;
18 points Grandes Escolhas Wine.

A wine of great depth and richness, both in aromas and flavor. A mineral touch with a persistent, long, very straightforward and fresh finish, demonstrating great structure with a smooth, balsamic touch on the palate.

Thomas Reynolds, an English sailor and merchant, arrived in Portugal in 1820, drawn by the wine business, and had two sons, Thomas and Robert. From Porto, he supplied his London warehouse with Iberian products. In 1838, they entered the cork industry in Spain, expanding into Portugal and eventually settling in Estremoz. After the family left for New Zealand, Robert remained in Estremoz to manage the business, which quickly developed with the acquisition of new lands and the production of quality wines, an activity he pursued with particular dedication and passion. The Alentejo region became the definitive cradle of the Reynolds family in Portugal and of Robert, the family patriarch. From this cradle came Robert's eldest son, Robert Rafael, and from him, Carlos. Carlos had a first daughter named Gloria, Gloria Reynolds. In her honor, and in honor of all her ancestors who lived in the Alentejo region, Julian, Gloria's son, produces a quality wine that bears his mother's name – Gloria Reynolds.
