Origin

Produced in Portugal, Quinta do Cardo is located in the Alentejo region, known for its warm climate and ideal conditions for viticulture.

Variety

The wine is typically crafted from a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties, which may include Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal character and freshness. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels to develop complexity and balance before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, complemented by subtle spicy and earthy notes.

  • Hearty stews and casseroles.
