Herdade do Peso Ícone 2014 Red Wine

5/ 5

<p></p><p>On the hot plains of the Baixo Alentejo, just a few kilometres from the city of Beja, is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Its vineyards represent decades of history that Henrique Uva has preserved and farmed for many years and which he always wanted to develop as an independent producer.<br />In 2004, he achieved his dream, with the project that goes by the name of Henrique Uva/Herdade da Mingorra. The Winery is surrounded by 1,400 hectares of a landscape that can be considered exuberant, such is the diversity of plants and fauna, with several river basins forming veritable oases. The Winery is a true place of worship. A place where modernity and functionality can be found alongside indelible traditional techniques.</p>

<p>After more than four decades, the wine reveals a deep garnet color and a bouquet of dried red fruit, leather, earthy notes, and a subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is elegant and well-integrated, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, persistent finish. Though mature, it still maintains a surprising freshness and complexity. This is a collector’s wine that speaks to the heritage of Portuguese viticulture and is best enjoyed with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or simply on its own to appreciate its quiet power and grace</p> <p></p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Years available for purchase.

<p></p><p>In Zambujeira do Mar, where the high temperatures of the Alentejo are mitigated by the Atlantic, the concentration typical of inland viticulture is balanced by the freshness and humidity of the sea, leading to ideal maturation. The grapes ripen, thus, in a slow and balanced way, with cool and wet winters, mild summers and the constant presence of the sea winds, creating wines where elegance overrides robustness.</p>

<p></p><p>Adega Cooperativa de Vidigueira, Cuba e Alvito was founded in 1960, but its chronology goes far beyond its almost 60 years of existence. Its roots are intertwined with the history of the village itself, and with Vasco da Gama - the Count of Vidigueira, to whom D. Jaime, Duke of Bragança gave the village in 1519. Thus arose the first connections of Vidigueira with the family of Gama.</p> <p>Based on the effort and dream of most of the wine growers in the regions of Vidigueira, Cuba and Alvito, this winery, one of the oldest in Portugal, is today a modern and visionary SME. In the winery's viticultural patrimony are discovered native grape varieties, perfected from generation to generation, among which stands out the Antão Vaz grape variety. This caste legitimated as the caste of Vidigueira and muse inspiring the Winery, gives rise to an exceptional white wine whose notoriety is worth the title of "O Branco do Alentejo".</p>

<p></p><p>Sempar Rosé Wine has a light pink, almost salmon colour. The nose is discreet, with notes of redcurrant, red fruit and herbaceous nuances. On the palate it is delicate, round and with good acidity. This Sempar Rosé conveys the warmth of the Alentejo and the freshness of the mountains!</p> <p>It's ideal with smoked salmon salad, sushi, curry, exotic cuisine or simply as a cocktail wine!</p>
