Talha Real Vinho Regional Alentejano Tinto Reserva

2011 Alentejano Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional

The Talha Real Vinho Regional Alentejano Tinto Reserva is a splendid expression of the Alentejano region, showcasing a vibrant red hue that intrigues from the first glance. This exceptional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional creates a wine that is full-bodied, delivering a delightful mouthfeel that coats the palate. With a bright and lively acidity, it offers refreshing balance to the deep, succulent fruit flavors, characterized by prominent notes of blackcurrant and dark cherry, enhanced by subtle layers of spice. The wine's tannins are notably structured, lending a firm backbone that ensures a long, lingering finish. The dry profile of this vintage, crafted in 2011, makes it an exemplary choice for bold dishes, perfectly complementing hearty meats and rich sauces, while promising to evolve beautifully with age.

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.
