Palheta' Light Red Wine, 2024, 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 and Cistercian history. This is a traditional 'field blend' of red and white grapes, co-fermented for a light, fresh and easy drinking wine which makes a super juicy blend from Portugal. Some winos calling this style a blouge (blanc-rouge) lol. Super chillable. A fine selection of the best grapes from an old parcel with south-east exposition of clay and limestone soil. ABV: 11.5%.
