Vinha Dos Pardais Tinto

Description

This "Vinho dos Pardais" seems to have played a lucky hand – it snagged 17 points from *Revista de Vinhos*, which, predictably, is utterly obsessed with blackberry and blueberry notes alongside a touch of dry bay leaf. The result is a remarkably smooth-textured wine with a vibrant acidity that really grips the palate, and a concentration that suggests it’s got legs. Seriously, it’s begging for a hearty, slow-roasted pork dish – perhaps a traditional *leitão à alentejana* – to really let its freshness shine.
