When we talk about Portuguese wines, the two most famous regions of this country probably come to mind: Douro and Dão; but another great region has emerged in recent years as a true alternative to the more established ones. This is Alentejo, a region in the south-central part of Portugal that we reach by following the course of the Guadiana River. A land of warm climate where vineyards stretch across plains, and where wines of great finesse, excellent flavor, and quality are currently being crafted, focusing primarily on native grape varieties.
Mingorra Touriga Nacional 2019 (IGP Vinho Regional Alentejano) is ideal to pair with a Wellington beef fillet, as well as with Iberian pork recipes such as secreto in sauce.
