A crystalline, straw-coloured white blending three indigenous Alentejo grapes, with tropical fruit and mineral notes, at the same everyday price as its red sibling.
Tip: Serve at 10 to 12C with fish or white meat; it is a fair introduction to the Alentejo's under-rated white blends.
A field-blend red from old vineyards, mixing five traditional Alentejo varieties into a deep garnet wine with dark fruit and mineral notes, built for traditional Alentejo cooking.
Tip: Pair it with grilled cured meats or aged cheese; the old-vine field-blend character shows best with rustic Alentejo food.
Cortes de Cima's benchmark everyday red, made with spontaneous fermentation and whole-bunch grapes from regeneratively farmed vineyards near Vidigueira, aged in French oak.
Tip: Chamine is the estate's entry point; the Incognito Syrah upstairs shows what the same regenerative vineyards can do at a higher price.
An aromatic Vidigueira white with tropical fruit, citrus and honeycomb notes over a saline, bright-acid finish, bottled in a small 10,000-bottle run.
Tip: Serve cold as an aperitif; the small production run means vintages can sell through before the following year's release.
The historic Mouchao estate's second label, named for a past generation of the Reynolds family. An easy-drinking Alentejo red from the same Alicante Bouschet-led vineyards that built the estate's flagship reputation.
Tip: Dom Rafael is the accessible route into Mouchao's Alicante Bouschet style without the wait or the price of the flagship Mouchao bottling.
A fresh, citrus-driven white from the Reynolds family's Casa Branca estate, the everyday counterpart to Mouchao's cellar-worthy reds.
Tip: Serve well chilled; it is a simple, honest way to taste an estate better known for its century-old reds.
A step up from Dom Rafael, Ponte Mouchao carries more of the estate's structured, Alicante Bouschet-driven character while staying just under the twenty-five euro mark.
Tip: This is the closest most drinkers get to the flagship Mouchao style without paying flagship prices.
