Evaristo Lisboa Tinto 2024
£9.75
The wine
Evaristo is an easygoing red from the Lisboa region on Portugal's Atlantic coast, led by Touriga Nacional with Syrah and native varieties. Cool ocean breezes keep the fruit fresh and the style bright and unfussy.
Ripe blackberry, plum and a lift of violet and pepper fill a smooth, medium-bodied palate. Juicy dark fruit and soft, rounded tannins run to an easy, savoury finish.
A versatile everyday red for grilled meats, pork, poultry and pasta. Serve at cool room temperature.
The producer
Evaristo
View all Evaristo winesEvaristo comes from the Lisboa wine region, the long Atlantic strip that runs north from Portugal's capital. It is a friendly, characterful red made to be enjoyed young and often. Behind it lies a philosophy of honest wine at a fair price.
The Lisboa region is one of Portugal's most productive, its vineyards cooled by breezes off the ocean. This maritime influence preserves freshness and lift in the wines, balancing the ripeness of the warm days. It is ideal territory for approachable, fruit-driven reds.
Evaristo builds its blend around Touriga Nacional, Portugal's most celebrated red grape, supported by Syrah and a handful of native varieties. The combination gives depth of dark fruit alongside gentle spice and supple texture. Winemaking stays simple, letting the fruit take the lead.
This is a wine with no pretension and plenty of charm, the sort of bottle that suits a midweek table as easily as a crowd. It is generous, versatile and endlessly drinkable. Evaristo shows just how rewarding everyday Portuguese red can be.
