The 2016 vintage exhibits a deep, vibrant red color that draws you in, while its inviting aromas of dark fruit, spice, and subtle earthy notes create a delightful bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, revealing a harmonious balance between its bright acidity and well-integrated tannins, which lend structure without overwhelming the fruit. The wine presents a generous fruit intensity with luscious flavors of blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of vanilla and leather. Dry yet approachable, Herdade Do Sobroso Arché is an excellent choice for both casual sipping and food pairings, embodying the essence of Alentejo's extraordinary winegrowing potential.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
