Vale Barqueiros Garrafeira Tinto

Description

This Garrafeira do Vale Barqueiros is a real hidden gem, earning a stellar 17 points from Grandes Escolhas. The deep colour is immediately enticing, hinting at a wonderfully complex profile – ripe black fruit, a touch of spice, and surprisingly, a whisper of green pepper thanks to the clever blend of Touriga Nacional with Cabernet Sauvignon and Alicante Bouschet. On the palate, it’s remarkably elegant, with a perfect harmony of fruit and spice, finishing with a persistence that’s quite stimulating. Wonderful with roasted lamb or a seafood rice dish, really.
