Esporão Pé Tinto | 2023

At 13% alcohol, this is exactly the kind of wine I'm bringing to those impromptu family gatherings. A blend of Castelão, Moreto and Trincadeira from Alentejo, the fruit is richly red with dark violets and sweetly scorched earth. With an equal balance of moderate tannins and moderate-plus acidity, it's the ultimate (and affordable) people pleaser. ~Allegra A
