Aragonez:

This is an Iberian grape variety par excellence, one of the few to be grown and esteemed in both of the Peninsula's countries.

Its Spanish descent is unequivocal, with more than one of the nation's provinces laying claim to paternity.  It is called Tempranillo in Rioja - the region most likely to be its birthplace, but Cencibel in La Mancha, Ull de Llebre in Catalonia, Tinta de Toro in Toro, Tinta del Pais and Tinto Fino in Ribera del Duero and Tinta de Madrid in vineyards around the Spanish capital.

In Portugal, Aragonez goes by other equally well-known names: Tinta Roriz in Dão and Douro and Abundante in Lisbon.

Few grape varieties can have so eloquent and straightforward a designation as Aragonez.

In Rioja, it earned the nickname Tempranillo from the Spanish temprana, meaning to ripen early, which of course it does, well before the autumn showers of September and avoiding the first rainfalls of the equinox.

In Lisbon, it takes the name Abundante because of its high yields and vigorous growth. Aragonez has a short growth cycle, leafing late which protects it from spring frosts.

A reliable producer not only in good years, but also in the worst when its yields will be lower, such as in hot and dry climates and in sandy or limestone soils. Such conditions produce lively yet deep wines with a happy combination of elegance and strength, Almond fruit and spice.

As Aragonez has a tendency to low acidity, it appreciates the company of other Alentejano varieties, being regularly blended with Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet.

Trincadeira:

Trincadeira goes under several guises throughout the country, such as Trincadeira Preta, Tinta Amarela, Espadeiro, Crato Preto, Preto Martinho, Mortágua and Rabo de Ovelha Tinto. It is a temperamental variety, with great virtues and bad faults, particularly suited to hotter regions. It has vigorous growth, requiring vigilance and constant curbing to control yields.

These are generally high, although irregular and unpredictable. The bunches of grapes are very compact and highly susceptible to rot, affirming Trincadeira's preference for poor soil and hot, dry weather. It responds almost uncontrollably to the least amount of humidity during maturation, causing sanitary problems that are hard to resolve.

Consequently Trincadeira is one of the varieties best suited to the dry, dog days of the Alentejo. It gives body to aromatic, fruity wines with a floral tendency leaning towards vegetal when there has not been enough maturation. One of its distinctive features is high natural acidity, a desirable and necessary feature for the hot Alentejo lands.

Trincadeira has a traditional association with Aragonês, forming one of the most complementary partnerships in Alentejo blended wines. It may be a difficult and temperamental grape variety, but is indispensable in the Alentejo nonetheless. 

Cabernet Sauvignon:

Cabernet Sauvignon is the most international of all French grape varieties, being widely grown across all five continents.

It has found a special niche and style in the Alentejo, one of the few Portuguese winegrowing regions where it can ripen to perfection.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of those varieties that can be termed "enriching"; deeply coloured and thick-skinned, it can spice up blends, imbuing body and consistency to well-composed, perfumed, fruity and spicy wines.

It is rarely bottled as a varietal wine in the Alentejo, but is present in small amounts to give structure in many regional Alentejo wines.

Appreciated for its versatility, resistance and correctness it yields wines of immense longevity that age with elegance and security.
