Alandra Tinto

An easy-drinking red from Esporão, one of the better-known producers in the Alentejo. Bright ruby in the glass, with red fruit on the nose, cherry and ripe plum, and soft, round and juicy on the palate with gentle tannins and a clean finish. A good bottle for a table that wants one red everyone will enjoy: it works with the francesinha, the broad beans with chorizo and the croquettes, and holds up next to the bacalhau too. Serve it slightly cool.

Serving: 750 ml bottle, served at cellar temperature; also available by the glass (150 ml).
