Wow! This fleshy, straight-up Portuguese blend has a high yum factor for the price. Give the glass a swirl and candied red cherry and blueberry scents reveal themselves with hints of tobacco and clove. Red cherry and red plum flavors have a sweet note of molasses.
Blueberry, red cherry, blackberry, molasses, pepper and vanilla.
Portugal is famous for the fortified port wines of Douro, but it’s also notorious for having hundreds of different grape varieties planted within its borders. Since entering the European Union in 1986, the focus has shifted to specific varieties that produce higher quality wine and the result has led to a viticultural revolution. Quinta da Alorna is located in Central Portugal’s Ribatejo region and dates to 1723. It’s a distinguished aristocratic estate with a magnificent palace on 2,800 hectares. Over 280 hectares are under vine and 1,900 hectares remain as forest. The wines themselves are very impressive in a fruit-forward, almost new-world style. The Ribatejo seems to be emerging as a really good source of well made, modernstyled Portuguese reds at attractive prices.
This bold, savory red blend calls for hearty red meats, such as beef, rabbit or lamb, amply salted and seasoned with pungent accents like fresh green herbs, anchovies, capers and garlic or a dusting of dried herbs and spices.
The Marquis of Alorna was granted his title by the King of Portugal in 1748 for his military victories in India. He became the 44th viceroy of India, where he made the fortune to build his palace back at home.
