Have you ever had “summer pudding”? Classic British dish of stewed raspberries, blackberries, red and black currants, filling a deep bowl of thick farmhouse bread, then pressed and chilled, flipped onto a big platter and served with thick, rich double cream. It’s full of spice and fruit and earthy flavours. This Alfrocheiro is like that: intense berries, great balance of acid and tannins, complex layers, and a nice long finish.
What The Sommelier Says
A delicate floral bouquet wraps around wild berries, ripe strawberries and subtle undertones of balsamic pine. Fresh and bright on the palette, revealing an abundance of wild berry, with hints of forest foliage. Well balanced acidity and supple tannins. A long, creamy finish leaves a lasting impression of excellence.
Pairs well with…
…a whole bunch of dishes. You could try a pork roast, a spicy curry, a mushroom ravioli or squid ink risotto. Get creative!
About The Winemakers
This is a personal project by winemaker João Cabral de Almeida, producing wines in the Douro, Dão, and Vinho Verde regions. Under the motto “Wines with a sense of place,” the project focuses on creating wines that faithfully express their place of origin and the grape varieties used. João’s approach to winemaking is straightforward: “We spend the entire year focused on producing the best grapes. Then, in the winery, we aim to intervene as little as possible to let Nature express itself to the fullest.”
