Description
In a nutshell:
A full, deep and lusciously fruity red from the Alentejo region of southern Portugal.
The lowdown:
Everything about this mouthwatering number is big and bold. Densely coloured, intensely flavoured it stands right alongside the likes of flavour packed Californian Zinfandel, or gutsy Aussie Shiraz. There's plenty to tickle the tastebuds here. Dark, plummy fruits and soft spices silkily fill the mouth and lead onto rich chocolate and vanilla notes on the long finish. You might not be familiar with Alicante Bouschet as a variety, but it's one that's made itself at home in the warm south of Portugal.
The Producer:
Terra d'Alter's vineyards are in the remote feeling, sparsely populated region of the Alentejo where cork oaks have long flourished. The climate here can be hot and harsh, but some of the cooler parts are fertile areas for good quality red wines. One of the driving forces behind Terra d'Alter is Peter Wright, an Australian and one of the original 'Flying Winemakers', who made Portugal his home in the 1980's and has been making cutting edge wines there ever since. His long experience and unrivalled expertise speak for themselves in his wines.
When to drink:
The order of the day here is substantial meaty dishes; beefy stews, vension and indian curries all work well.
Suitable for Vegans
