2016 Quinta do Infantado Vinho Tinto
Regular price $15.98
Deep ruby color with violet hues, indicating its richness and concentration. Intense aromas of raspberries, ripe plums, and blueberries, complemented by subtle notes of cloves and earthy undertones. Medium-bodied with smooth, ripe tannins. Flavors of juicy black fruits are interwoven with hints of spice, tobacco, and a touch of minerality, reflecting the unique terroir. A long, succulent finish with lingering notes of dark fruit and a balanced acidity that invites another sip.
The wine showcases the harmonious blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties and meticulous winemaking. Its balance of fruit, structure, and elegance makes it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews.
30% Tinta Roriz, 30% Touriga Franca, 30% Touriga Nacional, 10% other native red varieties.
In simpler terms, Touriga Nacional is kind of like Cabernet Sauvignon. Touriga Franca is kind of like Cabernet Franc. Tinta Roriz is essentially Tempranillo. This is a fullish-bodied Portugeuse Cabernet / Tempranilla blend. The wine is drinking beautifully now, but already has nearly a decade of age. We recommend consuming the bottle with friends and family in one sitting.
