Terras de Alter 2014 Terra d’Alter Alfrocheiro (Alentejano)

Country: Portugal / Terra d’Alter
Variety: Alfrocheiro Alentejano
Winery: Terras de Alter /

More commonly found in the Dão region, the Alfrocheiro is sometimes called the Pinot Noir of Portugal for its smooth, red cherry flavors and sometimes earthy character. Those attributes are found in this cherry-flavored wine with its bright acidity and fruitiness. The whole effect is spoiled by a green edge that shows tight tannins at the end.
