This vintage, crafted in 2009, offers a full-bodied experience, enveloping the palate with a robust character. Its pronounced acidity adds a refreshing brightness, perfectly balancing the intense fruit-forward profile that exudes notes of dark cherry and blackberry. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances its aging potential. Surprisingly dry, this wine invites contemplation and appreciation, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own in a relaxed setting.

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.
