Origin

Produced in Portugal, Quinta dos Grilos Red is crafted in the Alentejo wine region, known for its warm climate and rich terroir that contribute to the wine's character and depth.

Variety

This red wine is typically a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties, which may include Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet, offering a balanced and complex profile.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal characteristics. The wine is aged in oak barrels to enhance its structure and add subtle notes of vanilla and spice before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
  • Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, complemented by hints of spice and oak.
  • Palate: Medium to full-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of dark berries, chocolate, and subtle earthy undertones.
  • Finish: Long and persistent finish with a pleasant warmth.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as beef or lamb.
  • Hearty stews and casseroles.
  • Mature cheeses like Manchego or aged cheddar.
  • Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.
