Aragonez

Aragonez is the Portuguese answer to Spain’s famous Tempranillo grape. Commonly found in the Douro and Alentejo region of Southern Portugal, Aragonez produces red wines which are medium-full bodied, aromatic and intense. Expect white pepper, black fruits and an unmistakable “oaky-ness” from bottles which have been aged well.
