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

Amphora Branco Alentejo White Blend 2019

Light straw in color with a golden hue.

Strong nose of yellow apples, spices, minerals, lemons, earth, orange peel, herbs and overripe citrus fruits.

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.

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy limes.

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.

A blend of 40% Antao Vaz, 20% Perrum, 20% Rabo de Ovelha and 20% Manteudo. Grapes are fermented and aged in amphora clay vessels with indigenous yeast.
A small production of only 4,000 bottles. Organic and vegan.

João Portugal Ramos

Ramos Reserva Red Blend 2019

Deep ruby in color; plum, blackberry, and a little black cherry on the nose; high acidity; tastes like sour cherries, blackberries, and black pepper; more savory than fruity; smooth tannins and a long finish. An interesting experience. It's probably good with meat dishes. Maybe steak. Opened up a lot after some aeration. It's not fruity, but it's definitely a quality wine. — a year ago

9.0

Legit tasty wine here, tons of fruit, but also well expressed secondary layers including some magical spice & minerality. Med weight, sleek & balanced- this was just all around delicious & engaging. Handles its ABV very well - Bump for QPR — 9 months ago

AB Alentejo Alicante Bouschet 2009

The high score on this mostly reflects at how well composed this one still is at 13 years of age. Still plenty of primary fruit it is starting to show maturity with deeper complexity. The tannins have started to resolve into medium grain, the acidity is ample and the length is persistent and long. Not super complex but delicious and again another example of why this should be Alentejo's grape like Argentina has Malbec and NZ has Sauvignon Blanc. In other examples, I've had the grape shows good diversity in style with wines of less oak and more acidity. — a year ago

Herdade da Malhadinha Nova

Monte da Peceguina Alentejano Aragonês Blend 2018

Ripe & fruit forward with dark cherry & blackberry and a whiff of Mediterranean herbs.
Rich yet very fresh & balanced on the palate with beautifully polished & juicy tannins and a perfect balance between the sweet fruit and sappy acidity.
This is a nice one - richer & heavier yet very drinkable at the same time.
Excellent match with grilled meat.
