This wine is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Aragonês (Tempranillo in Spain) and Alfrocheiro. This is a bright wine from the Dao region. 13% alcohol and very inky and dark. The initial taste is spice finishing with Boysenberry. This wine is a reminder of how wondrous Portuguese wines are and vary by region. This wine is the tip of the proverbial wine iceberg. There is tremendous value to be found and on this label it is unfortunate to give a varietal breakdown of this wine.
I have said that Portugal is not just about fortified wines but an undiscovered wine country. I would keep a look at for Portuguese wines on your next wine buying adventures.
