Herdade do Rocim Mariana Red

Portugal's Alentejo region produces some of the country's most appealing red blends, and Herdade do Rocim's Mariana Red is a perfect introduction to what makes them so special. This thoughtful combination of native Portuguese varieties creates a wine that's both approachable and distinctive.

The blend typically features Aragonez (Portugal's name for Tempranillo) providing red fruit and structure, Alicante Bouschet contributing color and power, and Touriga Nacional adding floral complexity and depth. The result is a wine that bridges Old World and New World styles – fruit-forward enough to please those who enjoy California reds but with enough savory character and freshness to satisfy European wine lovers.

Herdade do Rocim's sustainable farming practices and careful winemaking ensure that the unique terroir of Alentejo shines through, making this a genuine taste of place at a remarkably fair price.
