Cerejeiras Lisboa Red 2023
Cerejeiras Lisboa Red is a traditional red wine from the Lisboa region of Portugal, produced by Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal. The winery was established in 1926 by Abel Pereira da Fonseca, an innovator who sought to combine traditional family winemaking with forward-thinking advances. Today, the family manages three historic estates, including Quinta das Cerejeiras, where this wine is crafted to express the distinct freshness of its Atlantic-influenced terroir.
Wine Description
This wine typically displays a lively ruby or garnet red colour. The sensory profile is marked by a youthful nose of freshly crushed berries, ripe cherries, and plums, often accompanied by subtle spicy hints or floral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-structured, featuring ripe fruit flavours of blueberry and raspberry alongside supple tannins and a smooth, juicy character. The finish is soft and fruity, highlighting the wine's approachable nature. The varietal composition is a blend of traditional Portuguese grapes, typically including Castelão (60%), Aragonez (30%), and Touriga Nacional (10%). It generally possesses an alcohol content of 13% ABV and is aged for 6 to 8 months in stainless steel vats before bottling. While the producer has committed to sustainability since 2020, this specific bottling is not labeled as organic.
Food Pairing
The fresh acidity and fruit-forward profile of Cerejeiras Lisboa Red make it a versatile partner for various cuisines. It pairs exceptionally well with red meats, game, and hearty pasta dishes. Local Portuguese pairings might include grilled octopus or salt cod (Bacalhau) cooked in red wine. Additionally, it complements a variety of cheeses and casual fare such as pizza or charcuterie.
