Red wines from Alentejo
| Producer: Herdade Grande
|
| Wine: Monte das Talhas 2008
|
| Region: Alentejo
Country: Portugal |
| Grape: Tempranillo / Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet |
| Tasting notes: This is an admirably fruity wine made from the indigenous varieties Aragonez, Tincadeira and Alicante Bouschet. The soft ripeness of the Aragonez is complemented by the fragrance of Trincadeira, and the edges softened by a short maturation in second use barrels. Great everyday stuff and a brilliant alternative to new world BBQ accompaniments! |

| Wine: Reserva 2007
|
| Region: Alentejo
Country: Portugal |
| Grape: Shiraz / Syrah, Touriga Nacional |
Tasting notes: The 2007 Reserva is a blend of Syrah and Touriga Nacional. This wine is only made in the best vintages, and with the best fruit from the vintage, so the components change over time.
Superb fruit intensity and beautifully fine, integrated tannins characterise this exceptional wine. The defined minerality keeps the wine fresh, while 10 months in new oak has helped to add a mocha complexity.
Very serious kit at an extremely competitive price! |

| Wine: Tinto 2007

| Region: Alentejo
Country: Portugal |
| Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo / Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet |
| Tasting notes: Predominantly Aragonez, Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet, this wine also has a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon completing the blend. Powerful and dense berry fruits combine with good integrated oak characters from 6 months spent in barrel. Meaty tannins will ensure that this continues to develop further in bottle. |
