Alentejo Blends From Portugal
Checking out five Alentejo blends from Portugal is a burden that I’m willing to take on. But in all honesty, there are some real gems coming out of the country.
Alentejo wine
2017 Herdade do Rocim Mariana Branco
Trying a blend of the Antao Vaz, the 2017 Herdade do Rocim Mariana Branco showed some potential.
2016 Malhadinha Antao Vaz da Peceguina
A new wine and a new grape, the 2016 Malhadinha Antao Vaz da Peceguina was an interesting first start for the Antao Vaz grape for me.
2013 Cartuxa
Easily my favourite of the group, my final Portuguese wine didn’t disappoint. Read the whole review to see what I mean.
2015 Monte da Peceguina
What happens when I’m only familiar with three of the grapes in a bottle? A surprisingly good, approachable wine that’s easy on the wallet.
2014 Esporao Red Reserve
A blended red for Portugal, the 2014 Esporao Red Reserve flashes at times, but does it ultimately win me over? Check out the full review to find out.
