Vidigueira Grande Escolha Alentejo Tinto

Description

This 2011 Vidigueira Grande Escolha is a rather sensible bet, particularly for those who favour a wine with a bit of character. The blend of Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet delivers a deeply coloured wine, already showing signs of its 12 months in French and American *bourgeais* barrels – a touch that certainly doesn’t shy away from the wine’s intense fruit. The harmonious marriage of cooked fruit notes, reminiscent of cherished childhood memories, with the spice nuances from the oak, speaks volumes about the winemaking skill. It would pair beautifully with grilled beef, leaving a long, lingering finish that’s certainly worth noting.
