Haja Cortezia is a family-owned winery located in the Colares wine region of Portugal, near the Atlantic coast. Following ancestral methods and honoring their heritage, winemakers Luís and Teresa handcraft their wines from planting the vines to bottling. The vineyards benefit from a unique coastal terroir, producing wines that express a fresh, mineral, and authentic Atlantic character. A visit to the winery offers guests the chance to experience this passion firsthand and taste the distinct personality of each small-batch wine.

While we tend to categorize Portuguese reds as bold and full bodied, this Almograve blend reveals a Beaujolais-like profile. Opens with a bouquet of red berries. passionfruit with hints of earth, and underbrush. The palate is similarly fresh and pleasant, supported by a mineral streak and bright acidity that leads to a clean, well-balanced finish. Light and fruity, we recommend serving with a slight chill.
