2023 Ravasqueira RAV Red Blend

Winemaker's Notes

Rav by Ravasqueira Red Blend is a vibrant, fruit-forward Portuguese red wine crafted by the historic Monte da Ravasqueira estate in the sun-drenched Alentejo region. Showcasing the lively, expressive character of traditional regional grapes like Trincadeira, this medium-bodied red pours a deep ruby color with elegant violet undertones. It opens with a highly aromatic bouquet of dark cherry, ripe blackberry, and cocoa, beautifully accented by subtle earthy notes and aniseed spice. On the palate, the wine delivers a smooth, well-balanced structure with supple tannins and a lingering, harmonious depth, making it an exceptional, budget-friendly addition to your website catalog that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, savory lamb chops, or hearty winter stews.

Nose A rich burst of blackberries and blueberries mixed with warm baking spices, a touch of fresh flowers, and a hint of cozy campfire smoke.

Flavor Smooth and velvety on the tongue, featuring lush flavors of ripe black plums and dark cherries dusted with a hint of cocoa powder.

Finish Clean and satisfyingly long, leaving a gentle trail of wild berries, sweet oak, and a pleasant, earthy warmth.
