Vinho Regional Tejo Reserva

2013 Tejo Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet

Quinta Da Lapa Cabernet Sauvignon Vinho Regional Tejo Reserva is a striking red wine from the beautiful Tejo region, known for its sun-soaked vineyards and rich terroir. This 2013 vintage showcases the varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet, delivering a full-bodied experience that beautifully intertwines notes of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and blackberry with subtle undertones of spice and oak. The acidity is pronounced, offering a bright liveliness that enhances its complexity, while the tannins are notable and structured, providing a firm backbone that promises ageability. On the palate, the wine is dry yet enticingly rich, making it a superb companion to hearty dishes like grilled meats and rich pasta. This wine not only reflects the terroir of the Tejo region but also exemplifies the craftsmanship behind its creation, showcasing the true essence of its varietals.

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.
