Nat Cool' Red Wine, 2022, Portugal

Espera, led by Rodrigo Martins, crafts wines in Alcobaça, north of Lisbon, using organic, heritage-driven methods that connect each vintage to the region's natural rhythms. Espera translates as 'wait' in English, a principle that forms the basis of Espera's winemaking philosophy. This fresh, juicy red has lively cherry and raspberry flavours, underscored by light herbal notes and a hint of earthiness. It's smooth, low in tannins, with a bright acidity that makes it an easy-sipper, best served slightly chilled. Perfect for casual gatherings or pairing with charcuterie, roasted vegetables, and grilled chicken. ABV: 12.5%.
