Conheça o estilo
Just like in the north, the red wines of Southern Portugal are experiencing a Renaissance right now. These wines are typically fruity and easy to enjoy.
The regions of Alentejo and Ribatejo are leading the charge making delicious wine that anyone can enjoy.
While Northern Portugal is making amazing wines in small quantities, Southern Portugal is producing delicious, easy-drinking red wines in large quantities.
The region of Alentejo is on the forefront of this movement. The sprawling farms have allowed them to make soft, delicious wines from local grape varieties.
The region of Ribatejo is also making approachable, fun wines, but they use French grapes much more than Alentejo. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot are often found along with local grapes. White grapes are still more common in the area, but there is so much potential in the red wines.
