Cartuxa Colheita Reserva Tinto is one of Alentejo's most storied red wines, produced on the historic Quinta de Valbom estate in Évora — where vines have been cultivated since 1517. A wine of remarkable depth, structure and heritage, it has been setting the benchmark for Alentejo reds since its first vintage in 1987.
Why You'll Love It
Few wines carry the weight of history quite like Cartuxa. Rooted in a tradition established by Carthusian monks over four centuries ago and now stewarded by the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation, this Reserve is crafted from the estate's oldest vineyards and aged for 15 months in new French oak. The result is a wine of exceptional complexity, elegance and longevity — a true benchmark of what Alentejo can achieve.
Vineyard & Production
Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness from the oldest parcels of the Quinta de Valbom estate. After de-stemming and gentle crushing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats, followed by a 15-day maceration to extract colour, flavour and tannin. The wine is then matured for 15 months in new French oak barrels before a further 15 months of bottle ageing — ensuring balance, complexity and refinement before release.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour with an inviting nose of dark fruit, warm spice — cinnamon, clove — and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and complex, with firm, well-integrated tannins, a fresh backbone and toasty oak influence. Full-bodied with a powerful, persistent finish of remarkable structure and elegance.
Perfect Pairings
Best served between 16–18°C. A natural match for roasted lamb, slow-braised beef, game and rich meat stews. Also excellent with aged hard cheeses or a classic Iberian charcuterie board.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
