The wine
Azamor’s Alentejano Tinto is the estate in a glass: a generous Portuguese red built from a blend of native and international varieties, led by Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Merlot. Concentrated fruit from densely planted, low-yielding hillside vines.
Bold yet refined, it pours deep and offers ripe plum, dark berries and a warm, savoury edge, with soft, ripe tannins and a juicy finish. Brilliant everyday drinking, made for the table. Try it with roast meats, lamb, pork and hard cheese.

View all Azamor winesAzamor is a family estate in the Alentejo, the sun-baked plains that Portugal calls its breadbasket and one of the country’s great red wine regions. It sits high above the landscape near historic Vila Viçosa, with views that stretch to Spain.
Alison and Joaquim Luiz-Gomes bought the property in 1998 and planted the first vines in 2001. The vineyards are unusual: among the most densely planted in the region, set at 350 metres on clay over schist, giving low yields of deeply concentrated fruit.
Alison makes the wines with a light touch, drawing on a palette of Portuguese natives and international varieties alike. From the juicy, generous Alentejano blend to a singular wine made entirely from Petit Verdot, these are reds of real elegance, concentration and depth.
Bold yet refined, unmistakably Alentejo, and quietly distinctive. A serious estate, and a genuine find.
