Azamor Alentejo 2021
£15.00
Known as the “bread basket” of Portugal, the Alentejo has staked a claim as one of the country’s most important red wine regions. It is renowned for its consistency of good quality, excellent value, fruit driven wines.
Azamor’s vineyards are planted on low vigour hillside sites, which gives their wines more depth of flavour. They use a mixture of local varieties: Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet, as well as international ones such as Petit Verdot, Syrah and Merlot.
Beautifully aromatic with a lush, deep red fruit perfume. On the palate, the wine is well rounded with sumptuous soft fruit flavours. The finish is long, with ripe tannins. It pairs brilliantly with spicy dishes – a Puttanesca pasta dish with olives, capers, anchovies, while Ossau Iraty, a sheep’s milk mountain cheese.
Winner of a Gold Medal at the 2020 Sommelier Wine Awards.
