• Palate: Rich and fruit-forward, with juicy black fruit flavours, warming spice and soft, supple tannins.
• Finish: Smooth, fresh and beautifully balanced with lingering dark fruit notes.

Food Pairing

Alabastro Tinto is a versatile food wine, particularly well suited to hearty Mediterranean dishes. Enjoy alongside slow-cooked lamb, grilled meats, rich tomato-based pasta or roasted vegetables. It is especially delicious with lamb stew or ratatouille drizzled with good-quality olive oil.

About the Wine

Produced from vineyards in Portugal's Alentejo region, close to the Spanish border, Alabastro Tinto reflects the warmth and character of this celebrated wine-growing area. Grapes from established, low-yielding vines grown on clay soils are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before a short period of maturation, preserving the wine's vibrant fruit character.
