ALUADO Reserva Alicante Bouschet | Lisboa red 2020 the #74 TOP 100 BEST BUY OF THE YEAR 2024 in the Wine Enthusiast.
For the 15th time we have a DFJ VINHOS wine on the most important and recognized list of the best wines in the world, in terms of price/quality.
“We are proud to see the quality of our team's work recognized, striving to meet what our partners and consumers ask for. Our goal remains the same: Creating the wines that people love to share!” José Neiva Correia, chief winemaker DFJ VINHOS
“This is a serious wine, dense but balanced. Its smoked flavors combined with black plum fruits give it solidity and highlight the firm tannins.” Roger Voss, editor of Wine Enthusiast
Aluado Reserva is excellent without food, great with tapas and snacks, or as an accompaniment to red meat, grilled salmon, risotto, paella, pasta, pizza, vegetarian, curry and other spicy dishes and dry cheeses. We recommend serving at a temperature of 12-16ºC.
“On Sundays at my home or at my friends’ home, I love the Aluado with grilled sardines and red pepper salad, at 12ºC.” Luís Gouveia, DFJ VINHOS, Sales and Marketing Director.
