Familia Rosa Santos Alentejo Implicit Red 2021

A bold and captivating red from Portugal's sun-drenched Alentejo region. Known for its warm climate and rich, expressive wines, Alentejo shines through in this cuvée, crafted primarily from local varieties such as Aragonez, Trincadeira, and Syrah.

On the nose, the wine bursts with aromas of ripe dark fruit—blackberries, plums, and cherries—intertwined with subtle notes of herbs, spice, and a hint of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied and velvety mouthfeel, with flavors of juicy black fruits, mocha, and a touch of earthy minerality. The tannins are firm yet smooth, providing a well-structured frame, while the bright acidity ensures balance and freshness.

The finish is long and rewarding, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and a touch of spice. This wine is a perfect match for grilled meats, roasted lamb, or rich stews, and will continue to evolve beautifully over the next few years.
