Grande Escolha

2006 Alentejano Red Blend

The Tinto Da Anfora Grande Escolha from the Alentejano region is a remarkable red blend that beautifully showcases the essence of its vintage. With a rich red hue, this wine offers a well-rounded and full-bodied experience that is delightfully satisfying. The acidity is lively, providing a refreshing lift that complements the bold flavors on the palate. Its fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing a blend of dark berry notes alongside hints of spice and earthiness. The tannins are structured, adding depth and complexity, while the overall dryness of the wine keeps it balanced and food-friendly. This vintage truly embodies the character of Alentejano wines, making it a wonderful choice for any occasion.

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.
