Cabeças do Reguengo Vira Cabecas Tinto

Cabeças do Reguengo Vira Cabeças Tinto is a characterful and expressive red wine from Portugal’s Alentejo region, crafted in the high-altitude vineyards near Portalegre. Produced by Cabeças do Reguengo, a winery renowned for its respect for nature, tradition, and terroir, this wine captures the essence of the region’s unique landscape. The vineyards rest on granite and schist soils, giving the grapes remarkable freshness and minerality — a rare trait in the typically warm Alentejo climate.

Vira Cabeças Tinto is a blend of native Portuguese grape varieties, including Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet, and Castelão. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with natural yeasts before aging in used oak barrels. The result is a wine that harmoniously combines traditional methods with modern craftsmanship, offering a style that is both vibrant and refined.

In the glass, Vira Cabeças Tinto reveals a deep ruby color with lively reflections. The nose is inviting and layered, showing aromas of ripe red fruit such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with hints of spices, dried herbs, and a subtle earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine impresses with its balance and elegance. It delivers fresh acidity, supple tannins, and a smooth texture that carries through to a long, graceful finish.

Flavors unfold gradually — from bright fruit to gentle spice and a touch of oak — without ever feeling heavy. It’s a wine that blends power with finesse, and freshness with depth, perfectly expressing its highland terroir.

This wine embodies the spirit of Cabeças do Reguengo: a deep respect for nature, a devotion to craftsmanship, and a desire to express the soul of Alentejo authentically — with energy, refinement, and a distinct Portuguese charm.
