Known as the \"bread basket\" of Portugal, the Alentejo has staked a claim as one of the country's most important red wine regions. It is renowned for its consistency of good quality, excellent value, fruit-driven wines. Unlike many producers in the region, Azamor's vineyards are planted on low vigour hillside sites, which gives their wines more depth of flavour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64671150997881,"sku":"204132618","price":20.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/AzamorSelectedVinesVinhoRegionalAlentejano.jpg?v=1789999452","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/azamor-selected-vines-vinho-regional-alentejano-2018","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
