Country: Portugal
Grape Varietal: Field blend of indigenous Portuguese red grape varieties
Tasting Note:
Nose: Complex bouquet highlighting honeysuckle, sweet butterscotch, dried apricots, marmalade, and toasted walnuts, accompanied by a subtle hint of tobacco leaf.
Palate: A silky, full-bodied texture that balances deep rancio notes of figs, prunes, dark caramel, and bitter dark chocolate with a refreshing line of mineral acidity.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with crème brûlée, almond tarts, rich fruitcakes, or aged hard cheeses like Manchego, Gouda, and Stilton blue cheese.
