Reserva

2009 Alentejano Syrah, Aragones, Alicante Bouschet

Magna Carta Reserva is an exquisite red wine that showcases the harmonious blend of Syrah, Aragones, and Alicante Bouschet from the picturesque Alentejano region. Its deep ruby color hints at the rich flavors that await, presenting a captivating bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, alongside subtle notes of spice and gentle earthiness. The wine features a medium body that provides a satisfying mouthfeel, while its well-balanced acidity elevates the overall experience, leaving a refreshing sensation on the palate. Tannins are notably firm, offering structure and potential for aging, which lends complexity to its character. As a dry wine, Magna Carta Reserva pairs wonderfully with grilled meats and hearty stews, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a bold yet elegant wine experience.

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.
