Winery - Herdade Grande
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Full style of rosé, with fresh strawberries, spiced with pepper and sweet acidity. There’s a hint of caramel, toffee, the acidity dominating the aftertaste.

The aromas are on the rustic side for this simple, fresh wine. To taste, the juicy fruit offers a good barbecue wine, with its soft but dry tannins and bright red berry fruit flavors. Drink now.

A rounded, soft wine, hinting at some minerality, with a white stone fruit flavor, crisply citrus. The wine only gradually shows more fruit flavor, the roundness then freshened up with acidity. There is a good final balance.

Shows some definite sous bois elements—including damp moss, mushroom and cola notes—then adds tart berries and an easy, facile mouthfeel. Crisp and fresh on the finish. A pleasant lightweight red for everyday drinking.

The first Reserva from Herdade Grande is a big-hearted spicy wine, dominated by cinnamon and black pepper. The fruits are robust, juicy, full of black currant jelly and black berry fruits. A big, ripe, fruity wine.

A blend of indigenous varieties from the south of Portugal, this wine smoothly blends green apple and citrus flavors with a slightly creamy texture, yet finishes zesty and fresh, with a hint of anise.

A fat wine, with acidity that floats over the full fruit flavors, but never quite integrates. There is a candy element to the fresh fruit, perfumed and crisp.

A soft, light, juicy wine with vibrant red berry flavors, pushed through with intense acidity. There is a simple one-dimensional character to this pleasant, fruity wine.

This ripe, raisin- and perfumed black fruit-flavored wine shows dusty tannin character as well as intriguingly old-fashioned leather and high acidity. In a traditional mold, this works deliciously, making it a fine food wine.

Reasonably complex for a modestly priced table wine, with intriguing notes of wintergreen, birchbeer, mushrooms and beet root. For some tastes, it could use a stronger fruit component, but despite that it’s supple enough on the palate to charm. Finishes crisp, with some tart berry flavors. A blend of Trincadeira, Aragonês and Alfrocheiro.
