Vallado Vallado reserva tinto 2020

Meet Vallado Vallado's dry red wine: a blend of Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, all from Portugal from the 2020 vintage. New to Touriga Franca? Touriga Franca is 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. The 'Reserva' on the label usually means it's a step-up selection given a little extra aging before release. Easygoing at the table: try it with roast meats, pasta, pizza night or a charcuterie board. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
