Ana Diogo-Draper Portugal Tempranillo 2022
About the wine
Tantalizing Tempranillo from alluring Alentejo
- Your Tempranillo glass will runneth over with flavors like black cherry, ripe blueberry and juicy red berries – complemented by vanilla and spice from fine oak aging.
- You helped Ana return to her home country of Portugal to harvest Tempranillo from a single vineyard in Alentejo near a mountain range named Serra D'Ossa, where it grows like a charm.
- Ana says this wine is "absolutely dreamy.” At your Angel price for a single-vineyard Portuguese Tempranillo, this is your dream come true, too.
Best before
This Tempranillo is intended to be enjoyed within 3-8 years. I'd dare say that its bold fruit and structure will make it a terrific blend to be consumed right away. As always, please be sure to leave plenty of time to breathe...
Serving advice
Like most of my wines, this blend is young, bold, and fruit-driven. So, letting it breathe is a must! Please open your bottle for at least 1 hour before enjoying it.
I also believe that since this is a “big red,” it will taste even better the second day it is open...if it lasts that long!
Food match
This bold red wine can live up to any hefty meal.
Tempranillo is always the pairing for my favorite Alentejo dish, Migas de Espargos. A hefty dish made with bread, asparagus, and traditional sausages, it is absolute perfection.
I also enjoy Tempranillo paired with another favorite, Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá, which is salted cod, onions, and potatoes, all encased in rich olive oil.
