Fresh from Alentejo
Just been to a wine fair exclusively dedicated to the promotion of wines from Alentejo, these are my pics, which I think encompass the juiciness so typical to this region but aided by enough freshness to keep them specially interesting, drinkable and gastronomic.

Always a charmer, power and finesse, velvety but characterful, intensity of fruit and fresh long length, one of my favourite wines at every vintage.
