Borges Lello red 2024

From Borges Lello in Portugal, this dry red wine blends Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and Tinta Barroca from the 2024 vintage. New to Touriga Nacional? Touriga Nacional is Portugal's most prized red grape, giving deeply colored, structured wines with violet aromatics, blackberry and firm, age-worthy tannins; it is a cornerstone of Port and Douro reds. There's Touriga Franca in the blend too: a key Portuguese red grape, valued for its perfumed florality and ripe red fruit, balancing the power of Touriga Nacional in blends and Port. Portugal is a goldmine of native grapes, from the zippy whites of the green northwest to the muscular reds and legendary Ports of the Douro Valley. It loves rich, meaty food — think grilled red meat, braises and a wedge of aged cheese. Serve it at cool room temperature.
