2023 Alentejo Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, Touriga Nacional

Penedo Gordo Selection is a delightful red wine from the sun-kissed Alentejo region, showcasing a blend of Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, and Touriga Nacional varietals. This 2023 vintage presents an inviting deep ruby color, hinting at its vibrant character. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience with a pleasing balance of acidity that provides a refreshing lift, making each sip enjoyable. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious dark fruits such as blackberries and plums, elegantly intertwined with subtle earthy notes that reflect Alentejo's terroir.
