Description
Cartuxa is a name that carries immense prestige across Portugal. Based in the historic city of Evora, this Tinto Colheita is a wonderful showcase of what makes the Alentejo region so special. It is a classic blend of local grapes like Aragonez and Alicante Bouschet, which are carefully aged in oak to create a wine that feels polished and incredibly approachable.
On the nose, you will find plenty of ripe forest fruits and dark plums, followed by a lovely hint of spice and cocoa. The palate is smooth and generous, with those characteristic soft tannins that make these reds so drinkable. Despite its richness, there is a balanced structure here that keeps it elegant. It is a soulful and honest wine that captures the warm spirit of the Alentejo perfectly.
