Casa De Saima Tonel 10 Tinto

Description

This 10-year old Tonel from Casa de Saima is a beautiful illustration of patience paying off in the Bairrada. Predominantly Baga, grown on soils that are delightfully enigmatic – clay-calcareous, you see – this wine exudes a remarkable elegance. Expect vibrant red fruit, a subtle spice complexity and a hint of resin, perhaps a nod to the surrounding pine forests. The palate is impeccably balanced, finishing with a lingering generosity. Seriously, it’s a wine that’s clearly been maturing with grace, and pairs perfectly with a hearty pork loin or a slow-cooked beef stew.
