Samora Vinho Regional Tejo Red Wine

2009 Tejo 55% Castelão, 15% Alicante Bouschet, 30% Trincadeira

Samora Samora Vinho Regional Tejo Red Wine is a delightful expression of the Tejo region, showcasing a captivating blend of Castelão, Alicante Bouschet, and Trincadeira. This stunning red wine presents a deep ruby hue that hints at its complexity. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile with bright acidity that adds a refreshing vibrancy. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of ripe red cherries, plums, and hints of blackberries. Tannins are well-structured yet smooth, providing a satisfying backbone without overwhelming the fruit. This wine is dry, making it exceptionally food-friendly, and it pairs beautifully with grilled meats or a hearty vegetable stew. Enjoying this wine offers a genuine taste of Tejo's diverse terroir and rich winemaking heritage.

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.
