José Maria da Fonseca Anticiclone is a distinguished red wine from the Península de Setúbal region in Portugal, crafted from a blend of Castelão and Aragonês grapes. This 2022 vintage offers a complex and supple profile with flavors of dark fruits, spiced plum, black cherry, blackberry paste, espresso, tobacco, anise, and graphite, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and herbs. The wine is balanced and medium-bodied with integrated acidity, light fine tannins, and an excellent spicy finish.

Produced by José Maria da Fonseca, a historic Portuguese winery that has been making wines since 1834 with almost two centuries of tradition and expertise. The wine earned 90 points from Wine Spectator and was ranked #66 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 for 2024. With 13% alcohol content, this wine is best served at room temperature (60-65°F) and pairs beautifully with red meats like grilled steak or lamb chops, hearty dishes such as beef stew or mushroom risotto, aged cheeses like sharp cheddar or Gouda, and grilled vegetables with herbs. The wine can be enjoyed now through 2029.
