Wines of Alentejo: sun, plain, and generosity

Alentejo is one of the most beloved regions for those seeking expressive, gastronomic, and palate-friendly Portuguese wines. Its plains, vineyards, olive groves, cork oaks, and estates help to form a very unique identity.

Alentejo wines tend to be generous, aromatic, and very good for pairing with food. Reds come with ripe fruit, softness, and structure. Whites can be fresh, aromatic, and versatile. The region also preserves the tradition of talha wines, linked to ancient winemaking methods in large clay containers.

At Empório Portugal, Alentejo is perfect for connecting wine, olive oil, bread, cheeses, herbs, and rural cuisine.
