The wine region of Reguengos
DOC sub-region at the heart of the Portuguese Alentejo (Reguengos de Monsaraz and Évora), on granite and schist soils with a hot continental climate. One of the eight Alentejo sub-regions. Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira and Periquita are the native red signatures, with cherry, dark chocolate, earth and tobacco in a concentrated, well-balanced palate. Roupeiro, Rabo de Ovelha, Manteúdo and Perrum produce round whites.
The wine region of Alentejano
Star of southern Portugal's great reds, sunny and opulent wines. Typical blends: round fruity Aragonez (Tempranillo), spicy Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional (black fruits, violet), deep teinturier Alicante Bouschet, juicy Castelão. Fleshy reds with notes of plum, black cherry, cocoa and sweet spices, melted tannins. Ample fresh Antão Vaz and Arinto whites.
The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
