A single-varietal Touriga Nacional from CARMIM, deep violet-red with ripe black fruit and floral lift, an affordable way to taste Portugal's signature red grape on its own.
Tip: Serve at 16 to 18C alongside red meat or game; the single-varietal bottling shows Touriga Nacional's structure more clearly than CARMIM's blends.
A single-varietal expression of the Alentejo's signature teinturier grape, deep violet-red with plum and black cherry, from CARMIM's Reguengos de Monsaraz cooperative winery.
Tip: This is one of the most affordable ways to taste Alicante Bouschet on its own, without a blend softening its colour and structure.
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.
