Herdade Dacalada

Herdade do Esporão

Reserva Alentejo Aragonês Blend 2021

No notes. A bit côtes du rhône on the nose. Some oak touches. Plum, cherry, leather. Really cool. Some tannins in the rear, some vanilla, some width, some matter. It's a very serious wine 👍 — 16 days ago

Reserva Serra do Mendro Branco 2020

I am not quite sure of the varietals in this blend. .  However, the fruit and the acidity is in near perfect harmony. A really nice tasting blanco from Portugal.  — a year ago

Herdade Do Rocim

Reserva Vinho Regional Alentejano Red Blend 2020

Lots of tart red fruit, oak, cedar, tar, and pencil lead. Medium plus body, high tannins, high acid, high alcohol, and medium plus finish. Some tertiary notes, so drink now. Also recommend decanting (I know, a bit of a contradiction there). Reminds me a bit of an Argentina Malbec on steroids. — 2 months ago

Monte Velho Alentejano Antão Vaz Blend 2021

McCarthy & Schiering, $11

Bursting with tropical flavors, lots of pineapple and guava, almost reminds me of POG juice. Balanced with a crisp acidity and very easy to drink. Amazing for the price, I immediately went back and grabbed 2 more bottles

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with over ripened apples, citrus, cream, spices, light vegetables, light peaches, herbs, earth, limes and black pepper.

This is Is a very interesting white blend from Portugal. Although crisp, it has a light buttery feel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Better when not too cold, and after 20 minutes of airtime.

This is not my usual style, but I really enjoyed it.

Paired wonderfully with a Mediterranean dish of baked eggplant drizzled with Tahini.

Reserva Alentejo Antão Vaz Blend 2019

I love the Portuguese. Upon first pour, the wine captivates with its deep ruby color, hinting at the complexity and depth within. The nose is immediately greeted with an intoxicating bouquet of dark fruits—ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries—interwoven with subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and a whisper of oak. — 4 months ago
