The Terra do Zambujeiro presents a captivating blend of Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Trincadeira, and Touriga Nacional, hailing from the sun-kissed Alentejano region. This red wine showcases a deep, alluring color that invokes the richness of its terroir. On the palate, it balances a robust and full-bodied profile with well-integrated acidity that adds vibrancy and freshness.

Tannins are notably structured yet refined, providing a delightful mouthfeel that complements its moderate dryness. The 2011 vintage brings an elegant complexity, making this wine a wonderful choice for hearty dishes or special occasions.

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.
