It's a question that we've addressed many times on this blog: What's a nice choice as an everyday wine? It has to be well-positioned at that intersection of price (low) and quality (high). By definition, it has to be versatile, pairing well with an assortment of food items, and should likewise be enjoyable on its own. We think the J. Portugal Ramos Vila Santa Loios Vinho Red 2010 is exactly the right everyday wine for you.
We're calling it an "old friend" because we used to carry this wine. We last carried it about 2 years ago, and it's back in a big way.
Loios is a wine produced in the Alentejo region, located in the south of Portugal. Its name originates from the title given in the 15th century to the members of the ancient Priest Congregation of St. John Evangelist, known simply as Loios. Loios monks have always had a deep connection to the history of Alentejo, especially to its wines. Thus, this wine has been named after them and is made from traditional grape varieties of the region. The Loios Red is a blend of traditional red varieties from this region; such as Aragonês (35%), Trincadeira (35%), and Castelão (30%). After a careful selection and pressing, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks, perfectly preserving the unique, fresh fruit character of each variety.
This easy drinking red shows an intensely fruity aroma, jammy and meaty all at the same time. Soft and easy going, it is nevertheless able to complement all cuisines. Perfect with barbecue, tomato based pasta dishes, or even a pizza.
Our buying power allows us to purchase this wine at a substantial discount, which we've passed along to you. Loios Red is available in the Bottle Club® for only $3.98. We have fewer than 50 cases available at this price, so don't wait on this deal!
