Eugenio almeida Ea tinto 2023

From Eugenio Almeida Ea in Portugal, this dry red wine blends Aragonez (Tempranillo), Syrah and Trincadeira from the 2023 vintage. Aragonez is a southern-Portuguese name for Tempranillo, giving structured, savory reds with red and dark fruit. Syrah comes along for the ride as well — a bold red grape producing dark, full-bodied wines with blackberry, black-pepper and smoky, savory notes; it is known as Shiraz in Australia. Portugal is a goldmine of native grapes, from the zippy whites of the green northwest to the muscular reds and legendary Ports of the Douro Valley. Easygoing at the table: try it with roast meats, pasta, pizza night or a charcuterie board. Serve it at cool room temperature.
