Mostly Antão Vaz with Arinto & Alvarinho. Exotic spiced white, with quince, white fig & peach notes. Medium bodied spicy white with a crisp finish. Great value #whitewine from #alentejo #portugal — 7 years ago
#alicantebouschet is the #garnacha #tintorera grape in #spain in this wine from #alentejo it's been made rather nicely. Deep, savory and aromatic with #potpurri and #peppery spice kick. Great price quality ratio and a fun bold wine with #ecological practices — 9 years ago
I didn’t find it particularly interesting when I tried it with Coravin, but that’s because it’s a full bodied wine with high tannins that should be decanted. Today I’m tasting it with a stewed roast and it is delicious. Deep ruby color = #alicantebouschet #syrah and #touriganacional warm climate #alentejo medium+ aromas with ripe red cherries, ripe raspberry and red plums. Balsamic touches and on the palate it’s dry with medium acidity and medium+ ripe tannins. Medium+ finish. — 5 years ago
THE ultimate house white wine at a bonkers $10. Medium bodied and very persistent in citrus, melon and white orchard fruits. Fresh and well balanced fruit and acidity. A complete wine at this price is very rare. A great find from our trip to #Portugal in 2013. #alentejo #assario #roupeiro #arinto #grapes http://tinyurl.com/o9xdg29 — 9 years ago
#Alentejo wine. Bold red in colour. Unmistakable Portuguese tannins, few smoky notes, noticeable dark berry on the tongue and a great aromatic experience thanks to the long term aging. — 7 years ago
#alicantebouschet And #cabernet really give this wine its identity. #alentejo heat and power with finesse. Black fruit and sweet spice on the nose, cherries and plums and cinnamon. Flavor profile on the palate in sync with the nose. Obvious oak influence. Tannins still a little scratchy. Can age for many years now until 2020 easily. — 9 years ago
