JP Azeitão Red 2022 is an approachable, fruit-led Portuguese red from the Península de Setúbal, produced by Bacalhôa Wines of Portugal. This vintage is made from Syrah, Castelão and Aragonez grown on sandy soils in the Palmela area, a setting that helps shape the wine’s easy-drinking style and bright fruit profile. Bacalhôa states that the grapes are harvested separately and vinified with short macerations and controlled-temperature fermentations to preserve freshness and aromatic fruit, resulting in a modern red designed to be enjoyed young.
Tasting notes
JP Azeitão Red 2022 shows a vibrant colour and pronounced fruity aromas, especially wild berries, strawberries and wild cherries. On the palate, the flavours are integrated and supported by a soft tannic structure, giving the wine a smooth, easy finish rather than an aggressively dry one.
Food pairing
According to the producer, this wine pairs well with light meat and cod dishes. Its soft tannins and fruit-forward style also make it a practical option with roast chicken, grilled pork, tomato-based pasta dishes and semi-hard cheeses. Serve slightly cooler than fuller-bodied reds for best expression.
Accolades
I could not verify a producer-listed award specifically for the 2022 vintage in the 2022 technical sheet. However, Bacalhôa’s official JP Azeitão Red product page highlights that the 2023 vintage won Gold at Mundus Vini Spring Tasting 2024, which supports the brand’s wider reputation for strong quality at its price point.
