Vinho De Talha Tinto

2024 Alentejo Tempranillo

The Vila De Frades 1656 Vinho De Talha Tinto is an exceptional red wine hailing from the beautiful Alentejo region, known for its sun-drenched vineyards and rich winemaking traditions. Crafted primarily from the illustrious Tempranillo varietal, this vintage offers a delightful experience for the senses. The wine showcases a vibrant ruby color complemented by alluring aromas of ripe red berries, dark cherries, and hints of spice, which create an inviting bouquet. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of fruit intensity and a nuanced structure, underpinned by integrated tannins that provide a gentle grip and contribute to its overall complexity. The mouthwatering acidity enhances the wine's freshness, making it remarkably versatile for food pairing. With a smooth, dry finish, this wine embodies the essence of Alentejo's terroir and the time-honored technique of vinho de talha, promising a rewarding sip for both casual drinkers and connoisseurs alike.

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.
