Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Blend of Portuguese signature varietals this full-bodied red wine is a hearty meal in a glass. Rich dark fruit, layered over violets, cloves and smoke. Silky on the palate with a medium+ length fruit driven finish. Excellent value at $15. Drinking nicely now but potential to enjoy over next 3 years.Pair with red meat, BBQ hamburgers.
Tasted: January 2015.
Produced by Quintado do Portal, this Portuguese red wine is a blend of 45% Tinta Roriz, 40% Touriga Francaand 15% Touriga Nacional grapes. About 25% of the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 9 months. - Community Wine Reviews
