Description
From the sun-drenched vineyards surrounding the historic city of Évora in Portugal’s Alentejo region, Cartuxa Évora Red embodies centuries of winemaking heritage under the watchful care of the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation. This 750mL bottle pours a deep garnet hue and opens with inviting aromas of ripe black plum, wild blackberry, and forest herbs, layered with notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and a faint whisper of warm spice drawn from careful aging in French oak. Predominantly crafted from indigenous Aragonez and Alicante Bouschet, balanced by Trincadeira and Castelão, the wine delivers a plush, medium-full palate: velvety tannins wrap around flavors of juicy black cherry, fig, cracked pepper, and earthy minerality that reflects the limestone soils of the estate. A lively streak of acidity keeps the finish fresh, making it a versatile companion to grilled lamb, aged Manchego, or a simple plate of marinated olives.
