Herdade Papa Leite Tiro No Escuro Tinto

Description

“Tiro no Escuro” by Herdade Papa Leite is a bold statement – it feels like it’s sprung straight from the dark nights of the Alentejo. This wine, built around Alicante Bouschet, Merlot and Syrah, bursts with intense notes of dried fruits, mirroring the region’s rich heritage. The finish is remarkably elegant and well-structured, owing to the clay-rich slopes where the grapes are harvested at night, a ritual that clearly yields exceptional quality. It’s a fantastic pairing with black pork, perfectly balancing the wine’s intensity and honouring the legacy of Filipe Barreiros Cardoso.
