Costa Boal Tinto

Description

“This Costa Boal, brought straight from the Douro with the seriousness of a smuggler, is a wine brimming with the soul of the *lagar*. The winemaking, still employing the traditional granite *lagares* with foot treading, is a testament to dedication – fermentation demands constant attention. Maturation in new French oak barrels certainly lends a smooth quality, yet doesn't diminish the expressiveness of the Touriga Nacional and Tinto Cão blend. It’s no surprise then that it earned a remarkable 18.5 points from *Grande Escolhas*; a truly captivating wine, ideally paired with rich black pork dishes.”
