The Cartuxa Reserva Red 2018 is one of the flagship wines of Alentejo, a benchmark of Portuguese winemaking that reflects both tradition and prestige. Produced by the historic Fundação Eugénio de Almeida, this Reserva is crafted only in exceptional vintages, using carefully selected grapes from the estate’s finest vineyards around Évora. It stands as a symbol of the depth, elegance, and longevity that Alentejo reds can achieve.

The bouquet is rich and complex, with aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, leather, and warm spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, delivering concentrated flavors of dark fruit interwoven with hints of cocoa, dried herbs, and well-integrated oak. Firm tannins provide strength and backbone, while balanced acidity adds freshness and lift. The finish is long, powerful, and refined, leaving a lasting impression of fruit, spice, and earthy minerality.

Ideal alongside roasted game, grilled lamb, or rich stews, the Cartuxa Reserva Red 2018 is a wine built for both immediate impact and long-term cellaring. With its depth, balance, and remarkable aging potential, it represents one of the finest expressions of Alentejo winemaking and a true treasure for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
