Herdade Da Figueirinha Syrah

2006 Alentejo Syrah

The Herdade Da Figueirinha Syrah from the Alentejo region is a remarkable red wine that captures the essence of its terroir. This vintage showcases a full-bodied profile, with a luscious mouthfeel that envelops the palate. The acidity is vibrant and lively, providing a refreshing counterbalance to the wine's richness. Its tannins are notable and structured, creating a compelling backbone that supports the fruit components beautifully. The fruit intensity is prominent, highlighting enticing notes of dark berries, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness that reflect the diverse soil characteristics of Alentejo. This Syrah is dry, making it an excellent choice for an array of culinary pairings, from hearty stews to grilled meats, ensuring an enjoyable experience with every sip.

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.
