Bojador Alentejano Tinto is an authentically crafted, deeply expressive, and fresh red wine produced in the sun-drenched plains of Alentejo, Southern Portugal. Bojador is the brainchild of winemaker Pedro Ribeiro, who is dedicated to preserving traditional regional winemaking techniques while highlighting the unique microclimates of Vidigueira. Sourced from native grape varieties grown in schist and granite soils, this vibrant red combines the rich warmth of Alentejo fruit with an extraordinary level of fresh elegance and drinkability.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its bright fruit focus, effortless elegance, and distinctive mineral backbone. Sourced from vineyards in Vidigueira, a sub-region benefiting from cool Atlantic breezes blowing through the surrounding hills, the grapes retain a lively natural acidity despite the warm climate. Matured without heavy oak influence to let the natural varietal character shine, it delivers an alluring bouquet of crushed wild berries, dark plums, dried Mediterranean herbs, and subtle slate minerality, presenting a wonderfully fresh take on Portuguese wine.

Vineyard & Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from select, sustainably farmed vineyards across Vidigueira. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit is destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts to safeguard purity of flavour and natural freshness. A portion of the wine undergoes a short maceration in traditional clay amphorae, adding subtle texture and rustic complexity before final blending and bottling.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it reveals a brilliant ruby-red colour with dark purple highlights. The nose is fresh, clean, and aromatic, opening with vibrant aromas of dark raspberries, wild blackberries, and ripe red plums, beautifully layered with notes of rockrose, dried thyme, black pepper, and subtle wet stone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, and balanced, delivering succulent dark berry flavours supported by a fine thread of acidity and soft, rounded tannins that end in a crisp, refreshing finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its vibrant fruit core, gentle herb notes, and balanced acidity, this Portuguese red is a versatile partner for a wide variety of dishes. It pairs magnificently with traditional Portuguese grilled sardines, pork tenderloin with paprika, roasted chicken with peri-peri sauce, and braised beef stews. It is also an excellent match for wood-fired chorizo pizza, cured meats, and semi-hard cheeses like São Jorge or Queijo da Serra.
