Qta grilos Quinta dos grilos red 2023
Here's a lovely dry red wine from Portugal, made with Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) from the 2023 vintage. 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 Alfrocheiro in the blend too: a Portuguese red grape giving deeply colored, aromatic wines with ripe berry and blackberry fruit. 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. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature.
