It's a popular wine and since I tried it out I know why. It is not too sweet although in the very beginning it has a fruity and sweetish taste. It's from the region of Alentejo.
It's ruby red and elegant. The balanced wine is the perfect companion to a meal. With 13% Vol. it is quite potent. The Monte Velho is a Cuvée consisting of Aragonês (40%), Trincadeira (25%), Touriga Nacional (25%), and Castelão (10%) grapes.
The beautiful design represents the art of the region.

The Portuguese are hard to convince not to use cork. "It adds to the taste" the women in the shop told me. Good, I enjoy the fizzling on the palate as I imagine how the cork influences the experience.
