Quinta Dos Távoras Tinto

Description

This Trás-os-Montes wine from Quinta dos Távoras is a delightfully rugged expression, achieved through a wonderfully old-school approach – think 20kg wooden boxes and a lengthy maceration. The eight-month aging in French oak has imparted subtle spice and vanilla notes, yet remarkably retains the region’s distinct character, a feat recognised with a bronze medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards in 2017. Seriously, it’s a wine that deserves to be paired with grilled beef or a well-aged cheese – a pairing that really lets its traditional soul shine.
