EXOTIC WINE TRAVEL COMES TO ADEGA COOPERATIVA DE VIDIGUEIRA, CUBA E ALVITO
Exotic Wine Travel is an international platform that promotes wine culture through travel around the world.
In October 2019 they visited the Adega Cooperativa de Vidigueira, Cuba and Alvito, where they learned about the wines, the Wine Tourism Space, the local culture linked to the production of
Carving Wine
, and the gastronomy.
They were surrendered to the millennial tradition of the production of carved wine, not only because of its winemaking method, but also because the grapes come from vines that are more than 100 years old. And although Vidigueira is known for its Whites, the Vidigueira Grande Escolha Tinto was also highlighted in the red wines of the Alentejo article.

VIDIGUEIRA GRANDE ESCOLHA RED
What a brilliant red wine from a cooperative. The Vidigueira Grand Eschola is a blend of Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet, aged in oak for 12 months. More serious than the price suggests (about 8 euros in Portugal). Notes of black fruit, tobacco, black raspberry, mocha and spice. A pretty serious wine for this price. It has fruit and nuances with a spicy intensity, soft tannins, and a lingering finish.
90/100 Points
