Foral de Évora

The Foral de Évora White 2020 is a remarkable white wine from the Alentejo region of Portugal, produced by the renowned Cartuxa Winery. It honors the long winemaking tradition of Évora, a city that was granted royal city status (“Foral”) by King Manuel I in 1501. This wine is mainly made from the indigenous Assario grape variety, known for its freshness and aromatic diversity.

In the glass, the Foral de Évora presents a pale lemon-yellow color with greenish reflections. The bouquet impresses with intense fruity notes, particularly pear and citrus fruits, complemented by subtle honeyed nuances. On the palate, the wine is lively and fresh, with a balanced acidity structure and a lingering finish.

This versatile white wine pairs beautifully with grilled fish, fresh salads, creamy cheeses, as well as light poultry dishes and Mediterranean cuisine. With its elegant freshness and aromatic complexity, the Foral de Évora White 2020 is an authentic expression of Évora’s terroir and an excellent example of the quality of wines from the Alentejo region.
