Tinto Da Talha Grande Escolha

2004 Alentejano Syrah, Touriga Nacional

The Roquevale Tinto Da Talha Grande Escolha from the Alentejano region is a captivating red blend of Syrah and Touriga Nacional, beautifully showcasing the depth and character of its origins. This 2004 vintage is recognized for its full-bodied nature, offering a rich, luxurious mouthfeel that envelops the palate. With pronounced acidity, it delivers a refreshing brightness that perfectly balances the bold flavors. The wine's fruit intensity is high, revealing layers of dark berries, plums, and hints of spice, making each sip a delightful experience. Tannins are notable but well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit nuances. As a dry wine, it is an excellent choice for food pairings, enhancing meals with its robust profile. The Roquevale Tinto Da Talha Grande Escolha is not just a wine; it is a delightful journey through the heart of Alentejano winemaking.

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.
