Collection: Grape Variety - Red Grapes - Aragonez
Aragonez, known as Tempranillo in Spain, is a versatile grape variety that plays a central role in the wines of Portugal's Alentejo region, where it is cherished for its ability to produce richly flavored, complex red wines. This grape adapts well to the Alentejo's hot, dry climate, yielding wines that are full-bodied and have a good balance of acidity, tannins, and alcohol. The Aragonez wines are noted for their aromas and flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, often accompanied by spice and leather notes, reflecting the varietal's adaptability and expressive nature. Hay Wines has embraced Aragonez, importing and offering a selection that highlights the grape's robust character and depth, providing UK wine enthusiasts with the opportunity to explore the distinct qualities of this lesser-known variety. Their commitment to Aragonez wines introduces a touch of Portuguese tradition and innovation to the diverse UK wine market.
