J. Cabral Liquen Alfrocheiro 2022, Dao

The J. Cabral Líquen Alfrocheiro 2022 is a medium-bodied, 100% Alfrocheiro red wine from the Dão region of Portugal, crafted by winemaker João Cabral Almeida. It has a dark ruby hue with an elegant, aromatic nose featuring ripe cherry, floral notes, wild berries, spices, and subtle hints of coffee, graphite, and oak. On the palate it is deceptively light yet structured and intense, balancing a dark core of blackberry, black plum, and cranberry-infused fruit with incisive acidity, a saline touch, and polished, silky tannins. The finish is long, fresh, and dark-fruited with lingering herbal and mocha accents.
