From the rolling plains and gentle slopes of Alentejo, where the sun shines over 300 days a year, comes Adega Mayor Reserva do Comendador — a rich, smooth red that captures Portugal’s warmth and laid-back sophistication.
This southern region is the country’s heartbeat for red wine. The hot days and cool nights help grapes ripen fully while preserving freshness, giving Alentejo wines their signature balance of ripe fruit, smooth texture, and easy charm. The granite and clay soils add depth and minerality, turning every sip into a taste of the landscape itself.
Alentejo is not uniform. It spans eight sub-regions, each with its own soil and microclimate. You’ll find everything from granite and schist to limestone and clay, giving winemakers a wide palette to craft wines with structure and complexity.
Adega Mayor is the vision of Rui Nabeiro, a beloved Portuguese entrepreneur who transformed his home region into a symbol of excellence. His winery, designed by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, rises from the land in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
Open your senses to words — this is a wine that speaks through every pour. Each bottle carries stories to share and memories waiting to be made. It’s the kind of wine that inspires conversation, connection, and moments you’ll never forget.
The blend — Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, and Syrah — reflects that same balance of power and grace. Alicante brings color and richness, Touriga adds floral lift and silky fruit, and Syrah ties it all together with spice and polish.
Full-bodied yet refined, this wine is pure Alentejo indulgence — smooth, sun-kissed, and impossible not to enjoy.
Aging: 18 months in French oak barrels.
Blend of 60% Alicante Bouschet, 30% Touriga Nacional, and 10% Syrah.
Deep ruby color with aromas of wild berries, dried flowers, and warm spice. On the palate, it’s rich and velvety, showing layers of black cherry, cocoa, and a touch of orange peel. Alicante Bouschet gives depth and dark fruit, Touriga Nacional adds floral notes and elegance, while Syrah brings a hint of pepper and smooth texture. The finish is long, polished, and beautifully balanced.
This top-of-the-line wine from this producer is dense, concentrated with black fruits and bold tannins. It is still not quite mature, with bright black fruits as well as tannins still up front. However, it will be a fine wine as it reaches its best form. Drink from 2024. — Roger Voss. ~93 Wine Enthusiast
