Reserva

2011 Alentejano Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet

Nunes Barata Reserva is a captivating red wine that beautifully showcases the rich character of the Alentejano region. This 2011 vintage is expertly blended with Syrah, Touriga Nacional, and Alicante Bouschet, resulting in a wine that offers a full-bodied experience with a vibrant acidity that lifts its profile. The deep ruby color hints at the luscious fruit components, where notes of blackberries and plums mingle with subtle undertones of spices and earthiness. The tannins are notable yet refined, contributing to a structured mouthfeel that promises a delightful aging potential. This wine is elegantly dry, making it a fantastic choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own in good company.

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.
