Description
The legendary Cartuxa winery is named after the Carthusian monastery next to which it is located. That monastery was once purchased by the De Almeida family and is now back in the hands of the monastic order, but the founder of Cartuxa, Eugénio de Almeida, started growing grapes on the lands. And where the Carthusian monks lead an exceptionally sober and secluded life, the wines of Cartuxa are anything but. Rich, full and fruit-dominated wines, that are beautifully balanced and never become heavy. This applies to the entire range of wines that come from this 400-hectare winery: from the very affordable everyday wines to the iconic Pêra Manca.
The Cartuxa Evora Tinto Colheita comes from the DOC Alentejo and comes from various vineyards of the Pinheiros, Casito, Álamo da Horta and Valbom estates located on a subsoil of granite, clay and slate. The winemaker of Cartuxa is the iconic Pedro Baptista (famous for his Cartuxa Pêra-Manca - the Peter of Portugal). This wine is a blend of Alicante Bousquet, Trincadeira (=Malvasia) and Aragonez with a fermentation in stainless steel tanks after which the wine can mature in peace because everything is given time at Cartux. This wine matures for 12 months in French oak barrels and then another 9-12 months in the bottle. This Portuguese is complex and elegant with a nose of red fruit compote, slightly peppery, somewhat spicy, a touch of earthy with hints of undergrowth.
Mouth-filling, meaty structure with soft, ripe tannins, followed by a pleasantly round, yet fresh, spicy finish. Highly recommended with grilled/roasted beef, rack of lamb, braised lamb shoulder, old/mature hard cheeses.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2020 Cartuxa Evora Colheita Tinto is een rijke en veelzijdige wijn met een mooi samenspel van rood fruit, kruidige tonen en een subtiele aardse ondertoon. De zachte, rijpe tannines en de ronde, frisse afdronk maken hem perfect in balans en zeer aantrekkelijk. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij gegrild of geroosterd rundvlees, lamsrack of stoofschotels, vooral wanneer het vlees langzaam gaar is en de smaken intens en sappig zijn, waardoor de wijn en het gerecht elkaar mooi aanvullen en versterken. Een goede keuze is bijvoorbeeld lamsvlees dat op een kruidige wijze is bereid of een stoofpot met rijke saus, waarbij de wijn de volle smaak en de kruidigheid uitstekend tot hun recht laten komen. |
