In the glass
What it pairs with
- Alentejo migas A juicy, food-friendly red for the region's bread-based classic.
- Grilled chicken Medium body and soft tannins suit simple grilled poultry.
- Chorizo and charcuterie board Bright red fruit complements cured meats.
With cheese
Queijo Serpa
Our pick Serpa's buttery, mild paste softens the tannin of a dry red blend of Aragonez and Trincadeira. The lighter, briefly oaked bottles suit a young wheel; the full-bodied, oak-aged reservas want a cheese with more age to hold its own.
Queijo de Évora
Our pick Évora is a small, firm ewe's cheese, slightly picante and acid, more so in the hard paste. A medium-bodied Alentejo red with moderate tannin refreshes the mouth between slices without laying a heavy tannic coat over the cheese.
History
The Colheita tier is Esporão's entry-level annual-harvest bottling, released each year from the estate's broader vineyard holdings.
