Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Portugal's Alentejo region lies Herdade dos Grous, a dedicated producer crafting exceptional wines. Their signature Grous Red Alentejo is a captivating blend that embodies the warmth and sunshine of this southern European region. Let's delve into its tasting profile and explore the perfect food pairings to elevate your enjoyment.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Grous Red Alentejo pours a deep, concentrated ruby red with a hint of purple hues. The vibrant colour hints at the intensity of flavours to come.
  • Nose: Aromas of ripe plums and blackberries take centre stage, intertwined with subtle suggestions of spice like cinnamon and clove. Hints of vanilla and a touch of earthy minerality add complexity.
  • Palate: The initial impression is a delightful balance of fruit and spice. The dark fruit flavours from the nose translate beautifully, joined by notes of black cherry and juicy red currant. The tannins are present yet smooth, offering a pleasant structure. Hints of oak from short ageing add a touch of vanilla and toasty notes. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering hints of spice and fruit.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Grous Red Alentejo's bold yet balanced character makes it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes:

  • Hearty Meat Delights: Pair it with grilled steaks, juicy lamb chops, or a comforting casserole. The wine's tannins can hold their own against the richness of red meat, while the fruit flavours complement the savoury elements.
  • Spicy Cuisine: The touch of spice in the wine makes it a natural match for dishes with a kick. Enjoy it with curries, fajitas, or a flavorful chili.
  • Traditional Portuguese Fare: Embrace the regional identity by pairing Grous Red Alentejo with classic Portuguese dishes like Cozido à Portuguesa (a hearty stew) or Arroz de Pato (duck rice).
  • Mature Cheeses: The bold fruit flavours and smooth tannins stand up beautifully to aged cheeses like cheddar, manchego, or a smoky gouda.
  • Pizza Night: Elevate your pizza night with a glass of Grous Red Alentejo. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of cheese and complements tomato-based sauces.

About Grous Red Alentejo

The grapes for this wine are sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of Alentejo. This warm, Mediterranean climate allows the grapes to ripen fully, resulting in a wine bursting with rich fruit flavours. The winemaking process utilises traditional techniques, with some grapes undergoing a short period of ageing in French oak barrels. This ageing process adds subtle complexity and structure to the final product.
