Varietal or Blend: Agricultura is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Aragones (aka Tempranillo) crafted by the renowned Alentejo winemaker, Luis Duarte. Touriga Nacional is the emblematic Portuguese grape, characterized by dark fruits and great structure. Trincadeira adds freshness and aromas of savory herbs. Aragones brings a spicy finish.

Terroir: Herdade Monte da Ribeira is a diverse farm with olive groves, grains, natural fauna and 42 hectares of vineyards planted between 1989 and 2008. The mountainous region where Agricultura is produced is the coolest part of the Alentejo region, formerly planted almost exclusively with white wine grapes. This climate allows for the production of perfectly balanced, fresh red wines produced from our traditional red grape varieties.

"A seductive red wine made from the classic Portuguese varietals Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Trincadeira, the unoaked, fleshy, dark ruby-colored 2012 Agricultura displays copious fruit, low acidity, ripe, sweet tannin and an expansive, fleshy mouthfeel. It is the ideal bistro red to drink with an assortment of cuisines."
