Fancy a hot fruity spicy wine for wet windy autumn days ? Go to Portugal and to the Alentejo district. The Esporao estate uses local grapes like Aragones, Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet mixed with Cabernet Sauvignon to produce a solid red wine with intense deep red blue colour. The aroma is packed with red berries, spices and delicate oak. A sniff of the glass and all you want to do is to take a zip and you wont be disappointed; big fruity body with a silky rich taste that is rock solid. Perfect in front of the fireplace! but please dont serve it too warm: between 16 to 18c would do to get all the right flavours...
The wine goes well with red meat or hard cheeses (not goat).

Esporao Reserva 2006 from Alentejo ca 20€ 17,80 and P+
