Description

Cartuxa - EA Tinto Reserva is a refined red wine from the Alentejo region in Portugal, crafted by Cartuxa, one of the country’s most respected wineries. This Reserva-level wine offers a more complex and structured expression than the standard EA Tinto, showcasing depth, balance, and elegance. Made from carefully selected grapes and aged in oak, EA Tinto Reserva delivers a sophisticated experience, perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on special occasions.

EA Tinto Reserva is made from a blend of Portuguese grape varieties, typically including Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet, and sometimes Syrah. The wine undergoes careful vinification, followed by aging in oak barrels, which adds layers of complexity, depth, and richness. The result is a wine with a full-bodied profile, smooth tannins, and a harmonious blend of fruit, spice, and oak notes.

Deep, dark ruby with garnet highlights, indicating its rich character.

Full-bodied and well-structured, with flavors of ripe dark fruits, plum, and blackberry, complemented by hints of chocolate, spice, and subtle earthy tones. The oak aging imparts a refined, silky texture with rounded tannins.

Food Pairing

EA Tinto Reserva’s robust profile makes it an ideal companion for rich, flavorful dishes:

Red Meats: Pairs exceptionally well with grilled steak, beef tenderloin, and lamb chops, as the wine’s tannins and depth complement the richness of red meat.

Game and Roasts: Enhances dishes like roasted duck, venison, or braised meats, where the wine’s bold flavors balance the savory elements of the dish.

Hearty Stews: Matches well with traditional Portuguese stews, beef stew, or slow-cooked casseroles that highlight earthy and robust flavors.

Aged Cheeses: Excellent with aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, blue cheese, or aged cheddar, where the wine’s complexity enhances the cheese’s intense flavors.

Mushroom and Truffle Dishes: Pairs beautifully with dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles, as the wine’s earthy undertones harmonize with these umami-rich ingredients.
