The Portuguese are famed for their robust reds, but here we have a delicate red that’s from specially selected local varietals Padeiro, and Vinhão.
It’s made from two parcels; two thirds Vinhão fermented in stainles steel, and one third Padeiro trodden and fermented in lagar. The blend makes perfect sense, rich colour and dark fruit crunchy acidity from the Vinhão compliment the Padeiro’s lighter colour and natural tannic structure. The result is fruit-driven and generous, but with freshness for everyday use. As is so typical for so many Portuguese wines, it’s a stunner with or without food.
Hand-picked to ensure quality, and produced to guarantee a fruity, fresh mouthful with every sip.
Tasting Note: Aromas of red fruits pervade, while an intense crispness arises from the native grape varietals. Bright and crunchy cranberry, raspberry, and a dash of cherry.
