Vinha Do Padre Pedro Tinto

Description

This Vinho do Padre Pedro – the blend that caused a stir with the Washington Post – delivers a genuinely surprising experience. Dave McIntyre’s description of it as “spicy and fruity, yet with earthy and spice nuances” hints strongly at a grounded, terroir-driven character. The blend of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Alfrocheiro provides a welcome complexity, particularly considering the price point. A touch of French oak lends a refined elegance, perfect alongside a hearty beef dish or poultry with a rich sauce.
