Portas Da Herdade – Reserva Red Blend 2019 🇵🇹

Alentejo Boldness in a Bottle — Dark, Spicy, and Built to Impress

Not your average red blend. This one’s got muscle.
The 2019 Portas Da Herdade Reserva is what happens when Portugal flexes its flavor. A blend of Syrah, Trincadeira, and Touriga Nacional (aka the soul of Portuguese wine), this full-throttle red brings power, polish, and punch. Aged 12 months in French oak and grown in the sun-soaked soils of Alentejo, it’s deep, complex, and here to make a statement.

Translation: this wine brings heat and harmony.

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep ruby — dense, rich, and brooding.

• Nose: Layers of blackberries, dark cherries, plums, chocolate, vanilla, and peppery spice.

• Palate: Full-bodied and intense. Dark fruit meets earthy spice, balanced by refined tannins and lifted by a streak of freshness. Vanilla and dark chocolate wrap it all up with style.

• Finish: Long and generous — fruit, spice, and richness linger like a good chorus.

🐂 From the Land of Cork & Power Reds

Crafted by Companhia das Quintas at the Herdade da Farizoa estate, this wine is a tribute to what Alentejo does best: ripeness, density, and drink-now-or-cellar elegance. Grapes are picked at peak ripeness, fermented low and slow, then aged a full year in French oak. The result? Rich fruit + refined structure + Portuguese soul.

🍽️ Pairing Moves

• 🥩 Grilled Meats: Ribeye, lamb with rosemary, BBQ pork — this wine craves char and fat.

• 🍄 Roasted Veg: Mushrooms, root veg, eggplant with herbs.

• 🧀 Cheese: Manchego, aged Gouda, or anything with a salty-savory crunch.
