Herdade do Rocim Mariana Tinto (2023) – From Alentejo producer Herdade do Rocim, this is a generous, easygoing Portuguese red built for everyday drinking but with enough depth to keep it interesting. Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez drive dark fruit, plum, and warm spice, with soft tannins and a smooth, approachable texture. Rocim consistently delivers wines that balance regional character with broad appeal, and this is a great example. Crowd-friendly without being boring—perfect for weeknight dinners, grilled meats, or anyone looking to explore Portuguese wine without overthinking it.
