Monte da Penha

Alentejo reserve reds from indigenous Portuguese varieties.

Monte da Penha produces red wines from Alentejo, Portugal's warm, expansive wine region known for ripe, structured reds. The winery's portfolio centers on blends of indigenous and international varieties—Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, Aragonez, and Touriga Nacional—vinified as reserve expressions. The Gerações Reserva Tinto and Grande Reserva Tinto, both built on Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez, represent the house's core offering, while the Montefino Reserva Tinto adds Trincadeira and Touriga Nacional to the blend. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines. The Alentejo terroir—characterized by continental heat and mature fruit expression—shapes the winery's approach to dark-skinned varieties, yielding wines with the density and aging potential expected of the region's reserve tier.
