Família Silva Pedigree Tinto

Description

This wine from Família Silva is a beautifully earnest tribute to Douro tradition – clearly, they take their vines very seriously! Hand-picked in perfectly coordinated 20kg boxes, the grapes were meticulously selected with a connoisseur’s patience. Fermented in the traditional lagar using native yeasts, it boasts a robust, authentic character. The 24-month aging, with 50% in new French oak, has mellowed the tannins wonderfully, whilst retaining that signature Douro complexity – think wild berries and dark fruit interwoven with a refreshing balsamic note and a touch of spice. Absolutely brilliant with a hearty red meat or, dare I say, a fantastic grilled fish.
