Producer Information: Quinta do Casal da Coelheira
Quinta do Casal da Coelheira is based in the Tejo wine region of Portugal, specifically near the town of Tramagal along the banks of the Tagus River. The estate has been family-owned since its establishment in 1986, with a focus on combining traditional viticulture with modern winemaking techniques. Their vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate and alluvial soils, which contribute to balanced grape ripening and expressive wines. The winery emphasizes sustainable practices throughout cultivation and production, aiming to reflect the unique terroir of their estate in every bottle.
Beyond their flagship red blends featuring Touriga Nacional and Castelão, Quinta do Casal da Coelheira produces a diverse portfolio that includes varietals such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Arinto, Fernão Pires, and Chardonnay.

Their range extends to bag-in-box formats for select table wines as well as experimental micro-vinifications that showcase lesser-known indigenous Portuguese varieties.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
