Reserva

2003 Alentejano Red Blend

Dona Maria Reserva Reserva is a captivating red blend from the Alentejano region, showcasing a deep ruby color that hints at its complexity. This wine boasts a full-bodied character, offering a richness that envelops the palate with every sip. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a lovely counterbalance to the intense fruit flavors that shine through, with notes of dark berries, cherries, and subtle hints of spice. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, adding structure and depth without overwhelming the fruit. This exquisitely crafted wine is bone-dry, making it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes or an excellent choice for savoring on its own. The 2003 vintage has developed beautifully, revealing the harmonious layers typical of quality wines from this renowned region.

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.
