Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

From Redondo, Portugal, Herdade De Sao Miguel 2017 offers delicious aromas of sour plum, black raspberry, earl grey tea, graphite, toasted marshmallow and oak. Mainly made from Touriga Nacional, the king of grapes in Portugal, the wine delivers a medium body, appealing tannins and precise acidity. Perfect with cheese or any food pairing, this Portuguese wine will please any amateur of this type. Palate: sugarplum, blueberry, lilac, leather, cocoa and vanilla. Enjoy!
From the Vinho Regional Alentejano, Herdade São Miguel 2017 Touriga Nacional is woodsy, earthy with fresh mushroom, dark chocolate, spicy plum and dark cherry aromas on the nose. Vibrant on the palate with spiced plum, dark cherry, earthy and dark chocolate flavours. The wine was aged in oak barrels for nine months. Good now, better in 2021. Pour with grilled game sausages or a charcuterie board featuring Iberian ham and cheeses. - Community Wine Reviews
