Herdade do Esporão Monte Velho Rosé 2021 Review
Not only do the wines of Portugal sit on thousands of shelves and wine lists across the U.S., they can also be some of the most affordable bottles out there. And the capper? They taste delicious! Take this wonderful rosé for instance. Coming from the famous southern region Alentejo, this blend of two Iberian native grapes (Aragonez is also known as Tempranillo) along with a dose of Syrah, is not a complex wine but a companion wine. It has a nice, fruity nose with good acidity and a balanced, fruity palate. It can please a crowd, hang at the beach, or be popped at a picnic. You name it. This is an excellent everyday wine.
