Description

Cartuxa - EA Branco is a refreshing, approachable white wine from the Alentejo region in Portugal, produced by the esteemed Cartuxa winery. Known for its fruit-forward character, balance, and vibrant acidity, EA Branco offers an accessible yet high-quality expression of Alentejo’s terroir. This wine is crafted with a focus on capturing the freshness and lively qualities of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties, making it ideal for warm-weather enjoyment and easy pairing with a variety of foods.
