Cartuxa EA Tinto 2022 is an approachable Alentejo red from Fundação Eugénio de Almeida, made from Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Trincadeira and Syrah.
Ripe plum, blackberry and red cherry are joined by violet, dried herbs and gentle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy, with fresh acidity, soft tannins and a smooth, savory finish.
EA was created as a wine for everyday enjoyment, and the 2022 reflects that idea very well. The blend brings together ripe Alentejo fruit with enough freshness and structure to remain versatile at the table, without requiring aging or extended decanting.
It is a particularly useful choice for customers looking to explore Portuguese red wines at an accessible price point while still buying from one of Alentejo’s best-known producers.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled pork, roast chicken, lamb, burgers, barbecue, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, pizza, Portuguese-style sausages, or semi-aged cheeses.
Serve around 60–64°F.
